Thanks for the response but i googled it before couldnt find any similar code. if any one hav done an application like dis please provide me a clue. i have done parsing name and email using udf but need to take education details etc from the resume

Many of the search results explain how to read a Word document using POI, so I'm not really sure what you want to know.

I have done reading the word document successfuly. But i have to parse the data in that resume doc in to seperate parts like name, phone no, education, experience which are common in resume. i have done email using a udf but couldnt find way for doing others thats my problem hope you are clear of it now. Expecting quick help...

Well if you're asking for someone to write a bunch of regular expressions to parse out text in the converted word document, that's not going to happen, since what you're asking for may very well be quite complex. So you probably want to either read a book or tutorial on regular expressions, or contact someone who knows how to write complex regex and hire them to help you. In other words, what you're asking for isn't something that you're going to have done for you over a help forum.

ok that i know but expected any similar application code

Well since I have no idea what the format of the data is in, it's impossible to offer "similar code" other than to point you to a regex tutorial like this or recommend trying out a regex tool like Expresso.

i am provided with a normal cv with name education details experience etc and have to split them to auto populate a form thats my requirement. Thanks for your response kiteless but dont know how i will solve it..
