Sorry if this is a duplicate post - my last one hasn't shown up. I could certainly do a 2-pass approach and build my own table of styles. I had just hoped that, since the workbook already has such a table and a mechanism for iterating through it, it would make sense to use that.
That eliminates the need to build 2-pass logic into my app, and it also produces something more generic that could be used in other apps. The only problem seems to be the implementation of 'equals' in HSSFCellStyle. I see the explicit index test there. I guess they really want 'equals' to mean 'is the same HSSFCellStyle object'. So I'd have to code my own 'equivalent' test. I guess I could almost clone it from the HSSFCellStyle.java (or the ExtendedFormatRecord.java source which really seems to do the testing), but then again most of the stuff tested there is probably not public. Anyway, something like that. On the regex stuff, I'm familiar with regex syntax - not the java regex class, but I guess I can pick that up. You referenced an email and a java attachment. Am I missing something? Does this forum support attachments? Or did you attempt to send me a private email? If so, I didn't get it. I had attempted to send you a private email last week. Did you ever get that? Thanks, Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
