/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Tutorial 37
|
| This tutorial shows how to read an Excel XLS file in Java (the
| XLS file generated by Tutorial 28 as base template), modify
| some data and save it to another XLS file (Tutorial37 - read XLS file.xls).
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */import java.io.FileInputStream;
import EasyXLS.*;
public class Tutorial37 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
System.out.println("Tutorial 37");
System.out.println("----------");
// Create an instance of the class that reads Excel files
ExcelDocument workbook = new ExcelDocument();
// Read XLS file
System.out.println("Reading file C:\\Samples\\Tutorial28.xls.");
FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("C:\\Samples\\Tutorial28.xls");
if (workbook.easy_LoadXLSFile(file))
{
// Get the table of data for the second worksheet
ExcelTable xlsSecondTable =
((ExcelWorksheet)workbook.easy_getSheet("Second tab")).easy_getExcelTable();
// Write some data to the second sheet
xlsSecondTable.easy_getCell("A1").setValue("Data added by Tutorial37");
for (int column=0; column<5; column++)
{
xlsSecondTable.easy_getCell(1, column).setValue("Data " + (column + 1));
}
// Export the new XLS file
System.out.println("Writing file C:\\Samples\\Tutorial37 - read XLS file.xls.");
workbook.easy_WriteXLSFile("C:\\Samples\\Tutorial37 - read XLS file.xls");
// Confirm export of Excel fileif (workbook.easy_getError().equals(""))
System.out.println("File successfully created.");
else
System.out.println("Error encountered: " + workbook.easy_getError());
}
// Dispose memory
workbook.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
