how to set character encoding in new doc file
hi all,
i try to generate a doc file with some different character encodings
like ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-5.
In my app i read an existing doc file and then i want to write it to a
new file after doing some changes.
But after writing the new file i try to open it with Microsoft Word
(2003 SP3), there i only get "?" for all unknown characters?!
When i print some debug messages to stdout i get all characters (i think
unicode).
How can i set an encoding for Paragraph/Text?
I am working with eclipse on windows using poi-bin-3.6-20091214.
thx
dops

This code shows my read of the doc file...
for (int i = 0; i < range.numParagraphs(); i++) {
Paragraph myparagraph = range.getParagraph(i);
// line of a line
String mytext = myparagraph.text();
mytext = mytext.replace("\r", "");
mytext = mytext.replace("\n", "");
...
...
}
Is this ok?

I want to store unicode characters in word doc, but if i store some russian
Characters only "?" will be displayed. (these chracters exists in unicode)
I think the encoding of these characters are unicode because when i print it to
sysout they will be display correctly.
This sample get's the text from doc and print it to stdout
System.out.println("#########");
TextPiece piece;
Iterator textPieces = mydoc_output.getTextTable().getTextPieces().iterator();
String text1;
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
while (textPieces.hasNext()) {
piece = (TextPiece) textPieces.next();
try {
text1 = new String(piece.getRawBytes(), "UTF-16LE");
buffer.append(text1);
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
throw new InternalError("Standard Encoding " + "UTF-16LE" + "not found, JVM broken");
}
}
text1 = buffer.toString();
System.out.println(text1);
System.out.println("+#+#+#+#+#+");
e.q.
#########
ﻱﺑẬ
"April"
"Апрель"
+#+#+#+#+#+
Then i add text1 to the range, i am getting only "?" for russian characters.
--begin output word doc
???
"April"
"??????"
-- end word doc

Hello Andreas,
I think that Nick is referring to explictly encoding the Strings using the
required/desired character encoding; there are constructors for the
java.lang.String class that do allow you to specify the character encoding
to the bytes you can strip from the String you have read.
Remember that HWPF is still very imature as an API and it could well be that
the sort of thing you are asking for has not yet been included. The best
long term solution may be to join the development team and contribute.
Yours
Mark B

I use HWPFDocument(...) to read the document. When i print the string (some text in doc) to stdout/stderr
all characters are displayed correctly, put when i write it to a new doc file, all russian characters are
stored with "?".
This is ok:
System.out.println(line);
This is nok: (after opening with word)
range.insertAfter(line);

Word (plus excel, powerpoint etc) can store strings as unicode or
non-unicode. POI works only with java unicode strings, and handles
reading and writing the strings to the appropriate kinds of bytes for you.
Make sure you're correctly passing your strings as unicode into java,
converting the encoding as needed.
