Java POI 3.6 XWPF usage guidelines (reading content of docx file)
- by Mr CooL
I assume the following objects should be used to read contents of DOCX file:
XWPFDocument
XWPFWordExtractor
However, somewhere the compiler warns me from not including the correct libraries needed in classpath. I think I'm kinda lost for not knowing which jar file is the right one to include for this since there are so many jar files (POI libraries).
My project so far involve in reading doc and docx files as part of the project.
I've managed to read the contents of doc file. However, for docx file, I'm still having problem with that. Can anyone show the guidelines in terms of the codes and libraries needed (jar files) to read the content of docx file?
I'm trying to limit the libraries need to be added on into project since I need to read doc and docx only.
The following works for doc:
fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new FileInputStream(fileName));
HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(fs);
WordExtractor we = new WordExtractor(doc);
String[] p = we.getParagraphText();
