Class FormulaParser

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.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]*])

Field Summary
`static int` | `FORMULA_TYPE_ARRAY`
`static int` | `FORMULA_TYPE_CELL`
`static int` | `FORMULA_TYPE_CONDFOMRAT`
`static int` | `FORMULA_TYPE_NAMEDRANGE`
`static int` | `FORMULA_TYPE_SHARED`

Constructor Summary
`FormulaParser(java.lang.String formula, Workbook book)` create the parser with the string that is to be parsed 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

Method Summary
`Ptg[]` | `getRPNPtg()` API call to retrive the array of Ptgs created as a result of the parsing
`Ptg[]` | `getRPNPtg(int formulaType)`
`void` | `parse()` API call to execute the parsing of the formula
`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.
`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.
`java.lang.String` | `toString()` toString on the parser instance returns the RPN ordered list of tokens Useful for testing
