Open Source API for HTML,RTF formats

Check Apache POI

You can find that at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/jakarta/poi/

Hi

POI doesn't support RTF formats. It supports OLE Documents

Thanks to helping me
Sudha

Java comes with parsers already in HTMLEditorKit and RTFEditorKit.

I tried with them

I have failed to parse the text. Can I have sample examples

Thanks
Sudha

StringTokenizer strtok = new StringTokenizer(inputString);
StringBuffer text = new StringBuffer();
while (strtok.hasMoreTokens()) {
   strtok.nextToken(">");
   text.append(strtok.nextToken("<"));
}

Short and sweet! :-)

By the way, I guess that RTFs can be directly read using readers/ writers.

There are several sub-versions for the RTF standard. Probably the RTFs created with Word don't work, otherwise you should be able to read/ write with RTFs directly.

Or else, you can try these:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/text/rtf/RTFEditorKit.html

http://api.openoffice.org

>> directly read using readers/ writers

= directly read/ written using readers/ writers

And i am to parse the RTF document also

here is the code

import javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.io.*;
class RTF2Text
{
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
      {
            System.out.println(getText(args[0]));
      }
      public static String getText(String file) throws Exception
      {
            FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(file);
            RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit();
            javax.swing.text.Document doc = kit.createDefaultDocument();
            kit.read(stream, doc, 0);

            String plainText = doc.getText(0, doc.getLength());
            return plainText;



      }
}


Thanks to all of the guys. Especially objects.

Thanks One And All

Hi guys:

I tried the code posted by as shown below.

 public static String getText(String uriStr) {
        final StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(1000);
   
        try {
            // Create an HTML document that appends all text to buf
            HTMLDocument doc = new HTMLDocument() {
                public HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback getReader(int pos) {
                    return new HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback() {
                        // This method is whenever text is encountered in the HTML file
                        public void handleText(char[] data, int pos) {
                            buf.append(data);
                            buf.append('\n');
                        }
                    };
                }
            };
   
            // Create a reader on the HTML content
            URL url = new URI(uriStr).toURL();
            URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
            Reader rd = new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());
   
            // Parse the HTML
            EditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
            kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
        } catch (BadLocationException e) {
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
   
        // Return the text
        return buf.toString();
    }


The above code does not work for some reason. The callback to handleText( ) method is somehow not being called by the HTMLEditor. Does anyone know of another way or some better way to parse an HTML file and get ONLY the TEXT WITHOUT any HTML-TAGS ?

Your helps is very much appreciated.
