Answer 1

you may use "jxl" library of java .
try this:
package com.quicklyjava;
import jxl.*;
import jxl.read.biff.BiffException;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class JavaExcelRead {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
//Create a workbook object from the file at specified location.
//Change the path of the file as per the location on your computer.
Workbook wrk1 = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("C:/test.xls"));
//Obtain the reference to the first sheet in the workbook
Sheet sheet1 = wrk1.getSheet(0);
//Obtain reference to the Cell using getCell(int col, int row) method of sheet
Cell colArow1 = sheet1.getCell(0, 0);
Cell colBrow1 = sheet1.getCell(1, 0);
Cell colArow2 = sheet1.getCell(0, 1);
//Read the contents of the Cell using getContents() method, which will return
//it as a String
String str_colArow1 = colArow1.getContents();
String str_colBrow1 = colBrow1.getContents();
String str_colArow2 = colArow2.getContents();
//Display the cell contents
System.out.println("Contents of cell Col A Row 1: \""+str_colArow1 + "\"");
System.out.println("Contents of cell Col B Row 1: \""+str_colBrow1 + "\"");
System.out.println("Contents of cell Col A <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12">Row 2</span>: \""+str_colArow2 + "\"");
} catch (BiffException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
