Description Taylan Ozgur YILDIRIM 2003-03-10 12:59:25 UTC
When i read a ms doc file with using HDF classes. I have got a big problem. If 
my data is not unicode and contains english char then there is no problem. But 
when i use unicode or utf-8 charset then i have a big problem. because when we 
use those type of charter string. It doesn't read all the data. it stopped to 
read some part of the data for example if i use something like inside of 
demo.doc document:  ýýüü 
then when we read we got ýýü
and it is increasing like this.

i will send my example given below

public class Deneme {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	testDoc deneme = new testDoc("demo.doc","demo.txt");
	deneme.getText();
	}
}

-----------------------------
//------- this code writes doc file to txt-----------
//------go get hfd libs from jakarta.poi (scratchpad at the moment)-------------

class testDoc extends Deneme{
String origFileName;
String tempFile;
WordDocument wd;

testDoc(String origFileName, String tempFile) {
this.tempFile=tempFile;
this.origFileName=origFileName;
}

public void getText() {
try {
wd = new WordDocument(origFileName);
//Writer out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(tempFile)); //eskisi
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(tempFile),"utf-8");
				
            

wd.writeAllText(out);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
catch (Exception eN) {
System.out.println("Error reading document:"+origFileName+"\n"+eN.toString());
}
} // end for getText

} // end of class
 
 
------------------------
the problem starts in 
wd.writeAllText(out);
when we look at the this method we see that end integer doesn't get the end 
point when we use unicode ms doc file..

Thank you for your supports.

fixxed by Raghuram Velega
I fixed the bug which was in the WordDocument.java class, replace the
following segemnt of the code:

 public void writeAllText(Writer out) throws IOException
  {
    int textStart = Utils.convertBytesToInt(_header, 0x18);
    int textEnd = Utils.convertBytesToInt(_header, 0x1c);
    ArrayList textPieces = findProperties(textStart, textEnd, 
_text.root);
    int size = textPieces.size();


    for(int x = 0; x < size ; x++)
    {
      TextPiece nextPiece = (TextPiece)textPieces.get(x);
      int start = nextPiece.getStart();
       int end = nextPiece.getEnd();
       boolean unicode = nextPiece.usesUnicode();
       char ch;
       if(unicode){
           for(int y = start; y < end +(end-start); y += 2){
               ch = (char)Utils.convertBytesToShort(_header, y);
               out.write(ch);
            }

       }else{
            for(int y = start; y < end ; y += 1){
                ch = (char) Utils.convertUnsignedByteToInt(_header[y]);
                out.write(ch);
            }
       }
    }


  }

It should work then,

thanks,
raghu

HDF is not currently supported.
