Reading data from Micrsoft excel and writing to notepad

Hi all,

I am writing a program to read data from excel and write data to notepad.
I am using POI Api

1.My first problem is that it is not reading the date properly.In cell, date is entered like this oct-07.When i click on a particular cell, function text box in Excel file shows the date as 10/23/2007. I want to copy this dd/mm/yyyy format to notepad but dont know how.

2. My second problem is that when i copy data to notepad , exponential sign(E) comes in the notepad due to large calculations in the excel file . I want the exact calculated value to bo copied in notepad and not the exponential sign.I dont know how to solve this problem?:confused:
