Hello,
I'm working on a program that simply extracts the body of text from
.odt and .doc files as a String. The snippet of code below either
prints the entire document or simply a blank line, which seems to be
dependent on the length of the document. That is, after passing a
certain length (44 pages), the program will no longer output anything
besides a blank line. Could anyone please lend me some insight? I'm
also open to other (better) ways to extract a simple string from any
document. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Josh
Josh,
For questions like this concerning the OOo API I guess you can find more
help over at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (One thing that comes to mind is
that much of the OOo code internally uses a string type (C++ tools
String) that can only handle strings of less than 64K characters. That
might be the reason you get an empty string for a long document.)

P.S. How can I enable debugging output from soffice.bin?
<CODE>
XComponent openDocument = openDocument(documentProperties);
// Query its XTextDocument interface to get the text
scrapeDoc = (XTextDocument)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTextDocument.class, openDocument);
XText scrapeText = scrapeDoc.getText();
// Print body of text to stdout
System.out.println(scrapeText.getString());
</CODE>
