Thanks to Javen and Dominik, I just learned this one myself...
Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(java.io.File file, null, true);

Subject: Validating office files without saving them
Hello,
I am using POI to determine whether or not an existing office file is valid.
For Excel files, I am using
Workbook workbook = WorkbookFactory.create(java.io.File file);
If that succeeds without throwing an exception, I assume the file is valid, and
then I close it in a finally block:
workbook.close();
The problem is that the close method is saving the file, which I don't want.
Is there a way to close the workbook without modifying the file on disk?
Thanks,
Joe
