Jitin Jindal updated TIKA-3544: ------------------------------- Attachment: (was: Book1.xlsx) > Extraction of long sequences of digits from Excel spreadsheets using Tika > 1.20 doesn’t yield the expected results > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-3544 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3544 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: parser > Affects Versions: 1.20 > Reporter: Jitin Jindal > Priority: Major > > If an Excel spreadsheet contains a long sequence of digits, such as a credit > card number, Tika 1.13 will emit the said sequence in scientific notation. > For example, the credit card number “6011799905775830” is extracted from the > attached spreadsheet as 6.480195344642784E15, which clearly is not the > desired output. > I think the impact of this issue is significant. There’s plenty of > information that can no longer be reliably extracted from spreadsheets. Think > credit card numbers, telephone numbers and product identifiers to name a few. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
