Hi,
I am using OpenOffice to convert text files to .sxw files.
I am able to do so with .doc files, but i would like to do the same with every file supported by Writer.
How can i do that ???

Well.
I am using Openoffice with JAVA , and it is a part of a J2EE application.
I try to upload a file via a form, convert this file with OpenOffice to a .sxw file, and then manipulate this file in order to extract it contents.
what i want to do is to use the API in order to know if the file uploaded can be open with OO.. |

From my book:
| Quote: | | OpenOffice.org has a type-detection mechanism to determine a document’s type when it is loaded. This mechanism has been reliable for the limited number of document types that I deal with daily. Sometimes, however, you must specify the filter name when importing a document. |
Hopefully, the type detection will work with the file names and extensions that are provided. If not, then you will need to manually supply the filter name.
Look at the conversion stuff at: http://oooconv.free.fr/
