Re: Searching a xls file

Lance,

A couple of  options are:

1) Save the Excel spreadsheet as a CSV and read/search it through
standard Java APIs for file, string, and text manipulation

2) Take a look at the Apache/Jakarta  POI  APIs, in particular the HSSF
project ( http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/how-to.html ). These
classes will allow you to read a write Excel 97 formatted files.

Hope this helps.
