      public SSTRecord(RecordInputStream in)
      Fill the fields from the data

      The data consists of sets of string data. This string data is arranged as follows:

       short  string_length;   // length of string data
       byte   string_flag;     // flag specifying special string
                               // handling
       short  run_count;       // optional count of formatting runs
       int    extend_length;   // optional extension length
       char[] string_data;     // string data, can be byte[] or
                               // short[] (length of array is
                               // string_length)
       int[]  formatting_runs; // optional formatting runs (length of
                               // array is run_count)
       byte[] extension;       // optional extension (length of array
                               // is extend_length)
       

      The string_flag is bit mapped as follows:

      Bit number Meaning if 0 Meaning if 1
      0 string_data is byte[] string_data is short[]
      1 Should always be 0 string_flag is defective
      2 extension is not included extension is included
      3 formatting run data is not included formatting run data is included
      4 Should always be 0 string_flag is defective
      5 Should always be 0 string_flag is defective
      6 Should always be 0 string_flag is defective
      7 Should always be 0 string_flag is defective

      We can handle eating the overhead associated with bits 2 or 3 (or both) being set, but we have no idea what to do with the associated data. The UnicodeString class can handle the byte[] vs short[] nature of the actual string data

      Parameters:
      in - the RecordInputStream to read the record from
  • Method Details

    • addString

      public int addString(UnicodeString string)
      Add a string.
      Parameters:
      string - string to be added
      Returns:
      the index of that string in the table
    • getNumStrings

      public int getNumStrings()
      Returns:
      number of strings
    • getNumUniqueStrings

      public int getNumUniqueStrings()
      Returns:
      number of unique strings
    • getString

      public UnicodeString getString(int id)
      Get a particular string by its index
      Parameters:
      id - index into the array of strings
      Returns:
      the desired string
    • toString

      public String toString()
      Return a debugging string representation
      Overrides:
      toString in class Record
      Returns:
      string representation
    • getSid

      public short getSid()
      Description copied from class: Record
      return the non static version of the id for this record.
      Specified by:
      getSid in class Record
      Returns:
      he id for this record
    • serialize

      protected void serialize(ContinuableRecordOutput out)
      Description copied from class: ContinuableRecord
      Serializes this record's content to the supplied data output.

      The standard BIFF header (ushort sid, ushort size) has been handled by the superclass, so only BIFF data should be written by this method. Simple data types can be written with the standard LittleEndianOutput methods. Methods from ContinuableRecordOutput can be used to serialize strings (with ContinueRecords being written as required). If necessary, implementors can explicitly start ContinueRecords (regardless of the amount of remaining space).

      Specified by:
      serialize in class ContinuableRecord
      Parameters:
      out - a data output stream
    • createExtSSTRecord

      public ExtSSTRecord createExtSSTRecord(int sstOffset)
      Creates an extended string record based on the current contents of the current SST record. The offset within the stream to the SST record is required because the extended string record points directly to the strings in the SST record.

      NOTE: THIS FUNCTION MUST ONLY BE CALLED AFTER THE SST RECORD HAS BEEN SERIALIZED.

      Parameters:
      sstOffset - The offset in the stream to the start of the SST record.
      Returns:
      The new SST record.
    • calcExtSSTRecordSize

      public int calcExtSSTRecordSize()
      Calculates the size in bytes of the EXTSST record as it would be if the record was serialized.
      Returns:
      The size of the ExtSST record in bytes.
