I have a document with text that can have n number of tables. The table is identified by the name of the table, which is written in the 1st cell as the header. Now I need to find a table with the name of the table and write it in the cell of this table. I tried using apache-poi for the same, but couldn't figure out how to use it for my purpose. Please refer to the attached screenshot if I cannot explain what the document looks like.
thank 
String fileName = "E:\\a1.doc";
if (args.length > 0) {
fileName = args[0];
}
InputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem(fis);
HWPFDocument doc = new HWPFDocument(fs);
Range range = doc.getRange();
for (int i=0; i<range.numParagraphs(); i++){
Paragraph tablePar = range.getParagraph(i);
if (tablePar.isInTable()) {
Table table = range.getTable(tablePar);
for (int rowIdx=0; rowIdx<table.numRows(); rowIdx++) {
for (int colIdx=0; colIdx<row.numCells(); colIdx++) {
TableCell cell = row.getCell(colIdx);
System.out.println("column="+cell.getParagraph(0).text());
}
}
}
}
this is what i tried but it only reads the 1st table.
