Working with attachments

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm sorry to contact you through the issues area, but I could not find any 
other way to get a hold of you.

I am having trouble figuring out how to work with attachments. I would like to 
somehow save the attachments in a message (if it has any) somewhere on my 
computer, but cannot find anything in PSTAttachment to extract an attachment.

My code looks as follows:

PSTAttachment attachment;
if(msg.hasAttachments())
{
  for(int i = 0; i < msg.getNumberOfAttachments(); i++)
  {
    attachment = msg.getAttachment(i);
    //cannot figure out what to do after this...
  }
}

Ideally I would like to get the attachments, one at a time (hence the for 
loop), and save them somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated

(Awesome library by the way!)

All looks to me so far!

You should be able to get the contents of the attachment by calling:
byte[] contents = attachment.getFileContents()

You'd probably want to throw it into a file or something (note: untested & 
checked):

FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(attachment.getLongFilename());
out.write(contents);
out.close();

Wow with a couple tweaks it works! Just had to put a check in there to make 
sure attachment.getFileSize() != 0 (else it would throw an exception)

Thanks again for the help and an amazing library.

Cool, glad it's working for you.  I've just bundled a new release which has 
significant fixes and some new functions.  It's recommended upgrading.

Hi,i tried this code :
  public static String parseMailAttachments(XHTMLContentHandler xhtml, PSTMessage  email, EmbeddedDocumentExtractor embeddedExtractor)throws TikaException, IOException, PSTException, Exception {
    int numberOfAttachments = email.getNumberOfAttachments();

    String resulattachement=new String("");

    for (int x = 0; x < numberOfAttachments; x++) {
            PSTAttachment attach = email.getAttachment(x);
            InputStream attachmentStream = attach.getFileInputStream();
            // both long and short filenames can be used for attachments
            String filename = attach.getLongFilename();
            if (filename.isEmpty()) {
                    filename = attach.getFilename();
            }
            FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
            // 8176 is the block size used internally and should give the best performance
            int bufferSize = 8176;
            byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
            int count = attachmentStream.read(buffer);
            while (count == bufferSize) {
                    out.write(buffer);
                    count = attachmentStream.read(buffer);
            }
            byte[] endBuffer = new byte[count];
            System.arraycopy(buffer, 0, endBuffer, 0, count);
            out.write(endBuffer);
            out.close();
            attachmentStream.close();
    }

      return resulattachement;
    }
} 

and i have this error :
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Invalid file path
