Get value from auto-increment cell in Word

I have simple table in Word

The first column is auto-increment. How can I get the value from there?

XWPFDocument xdoc = new XWPFDocument(resource.getInputStream());
List<XWPFTable> tables = xdoc.getTables();
for (XWPFTable table : tables) {
  int i = 1;
  for (XWPFTableRow row : table.getRows()) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (XWPFTableCell cell : row.getTableCells()) {
      cell.getParagraphs()
          .forEach(xwpfParagraph -> sb.append(xwpfParagraph.getText())
              .append(" "));
    }
    log.info("ROW {}   : {}", String.format("%03d", i++), sb);
  }
}

The current code is working, but I can’t get the counter value

Answer

The reason you could not get the value of the first column is that his XWPFParagraph do not contain plain text like the other column. that’s why when you call getText, it doesn’t find anything. that’s what your first Row really contains.

Column 1 :

<xml-fragment>
    <w:pPr>
        <w:pStyle w:val="Paragraphedeliste"/>
        <w:numPr>
            <w:ilvl w:val="0"/>
            <w:numId w:val="1"/>
        </w:numPr>
    </w:pPr>
</xml-fragment>

Column 2 :

<xml-fragment>
    <w:r>
        <w:t>Jack London</w:t>
    </w:r>
</xml-fragment>
