Method Detail

getRecordClass

public static java.lang.Class<? extends Record> getRecordClass(int sid)

Debug / diagnosis method

Gets the POI implementation class for a given sid. Only a subset of the BIFF records are actually interpreted by POI. A few others are known but not interpreted (see UnknownRecord.getBiffName(int)).

Parameters:

sid - the record sid

Returns:

the POI implementation class for the specified record sid. null if the specified record is not interpreted by POI.

createRecord

public static Record[] createRecord(RecordInputStream in)

create a record, if there are MUL records than multiple records are returned digested into the non-mul form.

Parameters:

in - the RecordInputStream to read from

Returns:

the extracted records

createSingleRecord

public static Record createSingleRecord(RecordInputStream in)

convertToNumberRecord

public static NumberRecord convertToNumberRecord(RKRecord rk)

RK record is a slightly smaller alternative to NumberRecord POI likes NumberRecord better

Parameters:

rk - the RK record to convert

Returns:

the NumberRecord

convertRKRecords

public static NumberRecord[] convertRKRecords(MulRKRecord mrk)

Converts a MulRKRecord into an equivalent array of NumberRecords

Parameters:

mrk - the MulRKRecord to convert

Returns:

the equivalent array of NumberRecords

convertBlankRecords

public static BlankRecord[] convertBlankRecords(MulBlankRecord mbk)

Converts a MulBlankRecord into an equivalent array of BlankRecords

Parameters:

mbk - the MulBlankRecord to convert

Returns:

the equivalent array of BlankRecords

getAllKnownRecordSIDs

public static short[] getAllKnownRecordSIDs()

Returns:

an array of all the SIDS for all known records

createRecords

public static java.util.List<Record> createRecords(java.io.InputStream in)
                                            throws RecordFormatException

Create an array of records from an input stream

Parameters:

in - the InputStream from which the records will be obtained

Returns:

an array of Records created from the InputStream

Throws:

RecordFormatException - on error processing the InputStream
