                                                java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Given a byte array of 16-bit unicode characters in Little Endian format (most important byte last), return a Java String representation of it. { 0x16, 0x00 } -0x16

Parameters:

string - the byte array to be converted

offset - the initial offset into the byte array. it is assumed that string[ offset ] and string[ offset + 1 ] contain the first 16-bit unicode character

len - the length of the final string

Returns:

the converted string, never null.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - if offset is out of bounds for the byte array (i.e., is negative or is greater than or equal to string.length)

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if len is too large (i.e., there is not enough data in string to create a String of that length)

                                                        int len)

Read 8 bit data (in ISO-8859-1 codepage) into a (unicode) Java String and return. (In Excel terms, read compressed 8 bit unicode as a string)

Parameters:

string - byte array to read

offset - offset to read byte array

readCompressedUnicode

public static java.lang.String readCompressedUnicode(LittleEndianInput in,
                                                     int nChars)

readUnicodeString

public static java.lang.String readUnicodeString(LittleEndianInput in)

InputStream in is expected to contain:

1. ushort nChars
2. byte is16BitFlag
3. byte[]/char[] characterData

For this encoding, the is16BitFlag is always present even if nChars==0. This structure is also known as a XLUnicodeString.

readUnicodeString

public static java.lang.String readUnicodeString(LittleEndianInput in,
                                                 int nChars)

InputStream in is expected to contain:

1. byte is16BitFlag
2. byte[]/char[] characterData

For this encoding, the is16BitFlag is always present even if nChars==0.
This method should be used when the nChars field is not stored as a ushort immediately before the is16BitFlag. Otherwise, readUnicodeString(LittleEndianInput) can be used.

writeUnicodeString

public static void writeUnicodeString(LittleEndianOutput out,
                                      java.lang.String value)

OutputStream out will get:

1. ushort nChars
2. byte is16BitFlag
3. byte[]/char[] characterData

For this encoding, the is16BitFlag is always present even if nChars==0.

writeUnicodeStringFlagAndData

public static void writeUnicodeStringFlagAndData(LittleEndianOutput out,
                                                 java.lang.String value)

OutputStream out will get:

1. byte is16BitFlag
2. byte[]/char[] characterData

For this encoding, the is16BitFlag is always present even if nChars==0.
This method should be used when the nChars field is not stored as a ushort immediately before the is16BitFlag. Otherwise, writeUnicodeString(LittleEndianOutput, String) can be used.

getEncodedSize

Returns:

the number of bytes that would be written by writeUnicodeString(LittleEndianOutput, String)

putCompressedUnicode

public static void putCompressedUnicode(java.lang.String input,
