  Hi...
  i am new to this forum and this is the easy way to use poi package.example code is below which reads the data from "new.txt"(data is:aa/bb/cc/dd/4Mhz/66/gg/hh/ii/jj/kk/ll/44GHZ/123/oo/) and stores this data into the "today.xls" under C drive. i am extracted this data based on key "/" and each data is stored in one cell liek aa in (0,0)and bb in (0,1)like wise.
  
  once you compile and run new file will be created and data will be written that is "aa
  aa" in two cells and again this code is executed it appends the new data which is read from "new.txt" with old data in same file.

  before executing this code you require jakarta POIpackage any version but i checked with poi 3.0
  steps:
  1.download the package and extract the file andyou may find the file like "poi-3.0-rc4-20070503.jar" and put it in c drive or whichever you feel
  
  2.compile the code (Note: specifying the jar file is must otherwise may get error like package HSSFWorkbook does not exit and etc..)
  
  javac -Xlint -classpath c:\poi-3.0-rc4-20070503.jar exceltest.java
  
  3.Run the application
  java -cp c:\poi-3.0-rc4-20070503.jar;. exceltest
  
  Note: this gives the 2-warnings
