DOC2TXT or atleast DOC2RTF

Hi,

I have to read the MS-WORD .doc file into a String and perform text operations on it. I might even need to save this string to a file. Basically i want to convert .doc file into .txt file.

To do this I found 2 products, viz:

1. POI by apache

and

2. text-mining0.4 by www.textmining.org

i am currently using the second one. but i m not really satisfied with the same. its kind of outdated and does not support Fast-Saved files(a ms-word internal format).

does anyone know of a better and a more efficient tool written in java?

I had to do the same with RTF files too. I have done it easily by the RTFEditorKit.

so, for me a DOC-2-RTF converter will also be a great help.

any suggestions?
