Method Detail

getBytes

public static byte[] getBytes(java.lang.String s)

Deprecated.

Gets the bytes of the specified string. This will simply return the ASCII values of the characters in the string

Parameters:

s - the string to convert into bytes

Returns:

the ASCII values of the characters in the string

getUnicodeBytes

public static byte[] getUnicodeBytes(java.lang.String s)

Converts the string into a little-endian array of Unicode bytes

Parameters:

s - the string to convert

Returns:

the unicode values of the characters in the string

getBytes

public static void getBytes(java.lang.String s,
                            byte[] d,
                            int pos)

Gets the ASCII bytes from the specified string and places them in the array at the specified position

Parameters:

pos - the position at which to place the converted data

s - the string to convert

d - the byte array which will contain the converted string data

getUnicodeBytes

public static void getUnicodeBytes(java.lang.String s,
                                   byte[] d,
                                   int pos)

Inserts the unicode byte representation of the specified string into the array passed in

Parameters:

pos - the position at which to insert the converted data

s - the string to convert

d - the byte array which will hold the string data

getString

public static java.lang.String getString(byte[] d,
                                         int length,
                                         int pos,
                                         WorkbookSettings ws)

Gets a string from the data array using the character encoding for this workbook

Parameters:

pos - The start position of the string

length - The number of characters in the string

d - The byte data

ws - the workbook settings

Returns:

the string built up from the raw bytes

getUnicodeString

public static java.lang.String getUnicodeString(byte[] d,
                                                int length,
                                                int pos)

Gets a string from the data array

Parameters:

pos - The start position of the string

length - The number of characters in the string

d - The byte data

Returns:

the string built up from the unicode characters
