converting excel to text file

No. I am on CF8

I am able to parse the excel files.i have another question though. I am trying to wrtie the results of a query to a text file as below:

<cfsavecontent variable="output">

   <cfoutput query="userdata">

     <table>

              <tr>

                      <td>FirstName</td

             </tr>

            <tr>

                    <td>LastName</td>

           </tr>

           <tr>

                      <td>ABCD</td

             </tr>

            <tr>

                    <td>ADEF</td>

           </tr>

      </table>

  </cfoutput>

</cfsavecontent>

<cffile action="write" output="#output#" file="file.txt">

The problem is the html is getting written to the text file. How can I make sure, i get only the header and rows values

I got everything working as long as the extension is .xls

When I am trying to use .xlsx extension, I get the following error

Object Instantiation Exception. An exception occurred when instantiating a Java object. The class must not be an interface or an abstract class. Error: ''.
The error occurred on line 875.

Is there a work around for this problem?

Thanks

I placed all the new jar files and changed the code in poiutility.cfc as below:

// Create a file input stream to the given Excel file.
            LOCAL.FileInputStream = CreateObject( "java", "java.io.FileInputStream" ).Init( ARGUMENTS.FilePath );
           
          
            LOCAL.WorkBookFactory = CreateObject("java", "org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.WorkbookFactory").Init();
            LOCAL.WorkBook = LOCAL.WorkBookFactory.create(LOCAL.FileInputStream);

This works fine for files saved in ealrier version of excel, and if I save the current 2010 version using .xlsx file. But when I save the excel using 'Save it as Microsoft 2000-2003 excel, and try reading it, I get an error as below:

Your InputStream was neither an OLE2 stream, nor an OOXML stream null

Yes I am sorry, I tested it more and this is whats happening. When I am downloading excel, I get 'Open or Save dialog box', when I open it and then save it as .xls or .xlsx, I am able to read those files with no problem (using poiutility). but when instead of opening, if I save it which gets saved a Excel 97-2003, then try to read them, I get that Invalid stream error.

yes I am able to open the excel files after downloading.
