Henry, There are a few things you can try. 1. Take a look at org.textmining's Word text extractor:
org.textmining.text.extraction.WordExtractor All you have to do is this: new WordExtractor().extractText(inputStream) 2. There is also the POI extractor: org.apache.poi.hdf.extractor.WordDocument All you do is: WordDocument wd = new WordDocument(is); StringWriter docTextWriter = new StringWriter(); wd.writeAllText(new PrintWriter(docTextWriter)); docTextWriter.close(); text = docTextWriter.toString(); 3. I'd also check out the following: org.semanticdesktop.aperture.extractor.word.WordExtractor here: http://aperture.sourceforge.net/doc/javadoc/index.html Hope this helps, - Dmitry ________________________________ From: Henry Lu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 5/17/2007 1:19 PM To: poi-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: reading MS word file Is there an example/code to read a MS Word file for text line by line. All I am interested in is the text regardless format, style, font... -Henry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi The Apache Jakarta Poi Project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
