I could be talking out of turn here Milos so I would advise you to wait for further responses but I do not feel you can do this.
Assuming that all you want to do is fetch a chunk of the file, parse it and present the results to the user then wait to see if they, for example, page down the Word document before fetching more of the file and parsing that chunk then I feel that you are going to fall foul of the file's format. Microsoft arranged these files as a series of interdependent 'records' and it is often necessary to parse all of the files contents to get at the information required to recreate the document and present the results to the user. As I said at the beginning however, I could very well be wrong and would advise you to wait for other responses. --- On Tue, 11/11/08, Milos Kovacevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Milos Kovacevic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Parsing incomplete Word and PPT files To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 2:21 PM Hello, I am interested if there is a way to parse incomplete doc and ppt files ( I would fetch let's say first 64K of a file from Web and then I would like to parse it). Is it possible or not? If yes how?
