I'm working on an application that converts Excel documents to plain text files. For this I'm using Apache POI 3.7.

You might want to look at Apache Tika - you might find everything you need already there!
The troubles starts when working with formatting. I want to keep the same cell formatting to be use in the converted plain text files or as close as possible.
The DataFormatter class ought to provide this for you Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
