POI Word 2007+ .docx

[Dan Evan]

Hi All,

I have been trying for a day or so now to find an example of importing a .docx file for analysis of text

I have been unable to achieve it so far and have received many different errors, i fear it is something simple that is wrong but i have looked at it for so long it is all a blur now I have attached the code, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

EDIT: POI is 3.7 with OOXML and Schemas

  

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.extractor.XWPFWordExtractor;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        try {
            File file = new File("doc.docx");
            FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(file);
            XWPFWordExtractor ex = new XWPFWordExtractor(fin);
            System.out.println(ex.getText());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Stack Trace...");
        }
    }
}

Thanks

The XWPFWordExtractor class has no constructor that takes an InputStream; where did you get the idea that it does? You'll need to pass it an XWPFDocument (which does have such a constructor).

Thanks...

I looked further in to it and have posted the example as there are few i could find online

  

            InputStream in = new FileInputStream("doc.docx");
            XWPFDocument docIn = new XWPFDocument(in);
            XWPFWordExtractor extractor = new XWPFWordExtractor(docIn);
            String docText = extractor.getText();
