[Solved]: MSPowerPointExtractor problem

[Ralph Scheuer <ra...@gmx.net>]

Hi everybody,

just a quick note for everybody:

Meanwhile, I managed to solve the problem. Ryan's and Sudhakar's 
sources work flawlessly (at least with German special characters) after 
adding one additional method to the source (see below).

The extracted String needs to be interpreted with "Cp1252" encoding.

It may well be that this is a Mac-specific encoding problem - I cannot 
verify the Windows or Linux behavior here.

Anyway, the following code solved the problem for me.

Again, thanks for all the great work you have done.

     private static String convertEncoding(String incoming){
         String outgoing = null;
         try {
	    outgoing = new String(incoming.getBytes(), "Cp1252");
	
         } catch (Exception e) {
             SDLogger.catchException(e);
         }
         return outgoing;
     }

PS: If there are no objections, I would like to contact the POI 
developer team and file a bug in bugzilla as I have the feeling that 
the code both of you have provided would be ideally suited for 
integrating some variant of it into the POI framework.

Kind regards.

Ralph
