Class FormulaParser

java.lang.Object

loci.poi.hssf.model.FormulaParser

public class FormulaParser
extends java.lang.Object

This class parses a formula string into a List of tokens in RPN order. Inspired by Lets Build a Compiler, by Jack Crenshaw BNF for the formula expression is : ::= [ ]* ::= [ ]* ::= | () | | ::= ([expression [, expression]*])

FormulaParser

public FormulaParser(java.lang.String formula,
             Workbook book)

Create the formula parser, with the string that is to be parsed against the supplied workbook. A later call the parse() method to return ptg list in rpn order, then call the getRPNPtg() to retrive the parse results. This class is recommended only for single threaded use. If you only have a usermodel.HSSFWorkbook, and not a model.Workbook, then use the convenience method on usermodel.HSSFFormulaEvaluator

Method Detail

parse

public void parse()

API call to execute the parsing of the formula

getRPNPtg

public Ptg[] getRPNPtg()

API call to retrive the array of Ptgs created as a result of the parsing

getRPNPtg

public Ptg[] getRPNPtg(int formulaType)

toFormulaString

public static java.lang.String toFormulaString(Workbook book,
                               java.util.List lptgs)

Convience method which takes in a list then passes it to the other toFormulaString signature.

Parameters:

book - workbook for 3D and named references

lptgs - list of Ptg, can be null or empty

Returns:

a human readable String

toFormulaString

public java.lang.String toFormulaString(java.util.List lptgs)

Convience method which takes in a list then passes it to the other toFormulaString signature. Works on the current workbook for 3D and named references

Parameters:

lptgs - list of Ptg, can be null or empty

Returns:

a human readable String

toFormulaString

public static java.lang.String toFormulaString(Workbook book,
                               Ptg[] ptgs)

Static method to convert an array of Ptgs in RPN order to a human readable string format in infix mode.

Parameters:

book - workbook for named and 3D references

ptgs - array of Ptg, can be null or empty

Returns:

a human readable String

toFormulaString

public java.lang.String toFormulaString(Ptg[] ptgs)

Static method to convert an array of Ptgs in RPN order to a human readable string format in infix mode. Works on the current workbook for named and 3D references.

Parameters:

ptgs - array of Ptg, can be null or empty

Returns:

a human readable String

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

toString on the parser instance returns the RPN ordered list of tokens Useful for testing

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
