Using lucene with HSSF from Apache

[Shoba Ramachandran <sh...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Has anyone tried to index xls and doc files?
I'm trying to do with HSSF from apache and using
lucene1.2

This code returns me binary and printing it out gives
junk chracters. File indexed like this returns nothing
upon search. 

public static byte[] parse(File file) throws Exception
  {
    POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(new
FileInputStream(file));
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
byte[] xlsInfo = wb.getBytes();
    System.out.println("xls content :  "+
xlsInfo.toString());
return xlsInfo;
  }

Thanks in advance for your help
Shoba
