error parsing .XLS file

[Roland Cornelissen]

Hi,

I use Tika 0.7, when trying to parse a .XLS file I get this error:

Could not parse document:class
org.apache.tika.exception.TikaException:TIKA-198: Illegal IOException
from org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.officepar...@110003

When the same document is saved as .ODS file there are no problems.

This is the source used:

    private void parse(String resourceLocation) throws IOException,
    SAXException, TikaException {
        InputStream input = new FileInputStream(new File(resourceLocation));
        ContentHandler textHandler = new BodyContentHandler();
        Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
        AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
        parser.parse(input, textHandler, metadata);
       
        input.close();
    }

Can anybody clarify my problem?
