## org.apache.poi.hslf.extractor
Class QuickButCruddyTextExtractor

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.poi.hslf.extractor.QuickButCruddyTextExtractor

    public final class QuickButCruddyTextExtractor

extends java.lang.Object

This class will get all the text from a Powerpoint Document, including all the bits you didn't want, and in a somewhat random order, but will do it very fast. The class ignores most of the hslf classes, and doesn't use HSLFSlideShow. Instead, it just does a very basic scan through the file, grabbing all the text records as it goes. It then returns the text, either as a single string, or as a vector of all the individual strings. Because of how it works, it will return a lot of "crud" text that you probably didn't want! It will return text from master slides. It will return duplicate text, and some mangled text (powerpoint files often have duplicate copies of slide text in them). You don't get any idea what the text was associated with. Almost everyone will want to use @see PowerPointExtractor instead. There are only a very small number of cases (eg some performance sensitive lucene indexers) that would ever want to use this!

Constructor Summary
`QuickButCruddyTextExtractor(java.io.InputStream iStream)` Creates an extractor from a given input stream
`QuickButCruddyTextExtractor(NPOIFSFileSystem poifs)` Creates an extractor from a POIFS Filesystem
`QuickButCruddyTextExtractor(java.lang.String fileName)` Creates an extractor from a given file name

Method Summary
`void` | `close()` Shuts down the underlying streams
`int` | `findTextRecords(int startPos, java.util.List<java.lang.String> textV)` For the given position, look if the record is a text record, and wind on after.
`java.lang.String` | `getTextAsString()` Fetches the ALL the text of the powerpoint file, as a single string
`java.util.List<java.lang.String>` | `getTextAsVector()` Fetches the ALL the text of the powerpoint file, in a List of strings, one per text record
`static void` | `main(java.lang.String[] args)` Really basic text extractor, that will also return lots of crud text.

Constructor Detail

### QuickButCruddyTextExtractor

    public QuickButCruddyTextExtractor(java.lang.String fileName)
                                throws java.io.IOException

  Creates an extractor from a given file name

  Parameters:
    `fileName` -
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### QuickButCruddyTextExtractor

    public QuickButCruddyTextExtractor(java.io.InputStream iStream)
                                throws java.io.IOException

  Creates an extractor from a given input stream

  Parameters:
    `iStream` -
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### QuickButCruddyTextExtractor

    public QuickButCruddyTextExtractor(NPOIFSFileSystem poifs)
                                throws java.io.IOException

  Creates an extractor from a POIFS Filesystem

  Parameters:
    `poifs` -
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

Method Detail

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                     throws java.io.IOException

  Really basic text extractor, that will also return lots of crud text. Takes a single argument, the file to extract from

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### close

    public void close()
               throws java.io.IOException

  Shuts down the underlying streams

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### getTextAsString

    public java.lang.String getTextAsString()

  Fetches the ALL the text of the powerpoint file, as a single string

### getTextAsVector

    public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getTextAsVector()

  Fetches the ALL the text of the powerpoint file, in a List of strings, one per text record

### findTextRecords

    public int findTextRecords(int startPos,
                               java.util.List<java.lang.String> textV)

  For the given position, look if the record is a text record, and wind on after. If it is a text record, grabs out the text. Whatever happens, returns the position of the next record, or -1 if no more.
