removing hidden characters
Hi, I'm parsing a word document using Apache POI.
The problem I have right now is that after parsing, the resulting String
(I'm using Java) still has some special characters.
A couple examples:
<TitreType>DRAFT REPORT</TitreType>
<RefProcLect>***I</RefProcLect>
So I'm not sure how to remove this because if I take let's say everything
that is in a <> and remove it then I might end up removing parts of the real
document.
Is there a way to remove only the special characters added by word?

I think this file should be enough to realize the problem.
The whole document is private so I don't think I can share it.

tried docx format with
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(fis);
XWPFWordExtractor ex = new XWPFWordExtractor(doc);
String toReturn = ex.getText();
same result, the resulting String has the hidden characters.

Hi,
Do you have a sample file to go along? Otherwise it is hard to say much,
only that it sounds like a bug in the text-extraction. So it would be best
if you can open a bug entry at https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
together with additional information/files so we can track any potential
fix there.
Dominik.

the way I'm getting the text is like this
HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(inputStream);
WordExtractor ex = new WordExtractor(doc);
String toReturn = ex.getText();
ex.close();
return toReturn;
