DO NOT REPLY [Bug 47304] New: WordDocument uses platform default encoding

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47304

           Summary: WordDocument uses platform default encoding
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.5-dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HDF
        AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jelmer@jteam.nl


When using the following code to read the attached word document the text is
not read correctly on macosx

WordDocument wordDoc = new WordDocument(new FileInputStream("test.doc"));

StringWriter docTextWriter = new StringWriter();
wordDoc.writeAllText(new PrintWriter(docTextWriter));
wordDoc.writeAllText(writer);
docTextWriter.close();

System.out.println(docTextWriter.toString());


The reason for this is that the  platform default encoding is used to read the
document when the text found is not unicode while windows-1252 should be used

Here's the offending code

if(unicode)
{
 ....
}
else
{
   String sText = new String(_header, start, end-start);
   out.write(sText);
}

On windows the platform default encoding is windows-1252, on osx it's macroman

To fix this 


String sText = new String(_header, start, end-start);

should be changed to

String sText = new String(_header, start, end-start, "windows-1252");
