Sample input file

Hi there,

we recently realised that documents (.doc not .docx) with embedded excel
spreadsheets have their text automatically extracted as part of the text
extraction process.

  // pass an input stream (.doc sample containing an embedded excel file with 
  // some text in the cells)

  POITextExtractor t = 
       org.apache.poi.extractor.ExtractorFactory.createExtractor(bis);

  // produces the text of the .doc document BUT also the embedded excel 
  // documents contents - is there a way to turn this feature off?

  t.getText()


Please let us know if there is something we can do to get around this and turn
this feature off for the text extractor.

Thanks,
Rob

For text extraction, you would be better off using Apache Tika. Tika wraps POI,
but gives full control over the processing of text + metadata + embedded
resources

Thanks a lot for the quick reply Nick!

I think in the meantime we can try to do some gymnastics with the paragraphText
and build up what we need to give back to the user (as POI is used quite a lot
throughout our app already).

Much appreciated!
Rob

To follow up on Nick's advice, download from here:
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/tika/tika-app-1.23.jar

and try it with these options:

java -jar tika-app-1.23.jar -J -t input_file.doc
