This can be useful for reports and GUI presentations when you * need to display data exactly as it appears in Excel. Supported formats * include currency, SSN, percentages, decimals, dates, phone numbers, zip * codes, etc. *

* Internally, formats will be implemented using subclasses of {@link Format} * such as {@link DecimalFormat} and {@link SimpleDateFormat}. Therefore the * formats used by this class must obey the same pattern rules as these Format * subclasses. This means that only legal number pattern characters ("0", "#", * ".", "," etc.) may appear in number formats. Other characters can be * inserted before or after the number pattern to form a * prefix or suffix. *

*

* For example the Excel pattern "$#,##0.00 "USD"_);($#,##0.00 "USD")" * will be correctly formatted as "$1,000.00 USD" or "($1,000.00 USD)". * However the pattern "00-00-00" is incorrectly formatted by * DecimalFormat as "000000--". For Excel formats that are not compatible with * DecimalFormat, you can provide your own custom {@link Format} implementation * via DataFormatter.addFormat(String,Format). The following * custom formats are already provided by this class: *

*
 * 
 * 
*

* If the Excel format pattern cannot be parsed successfully, then a default * format will be used. The default number format will mimic the Excel General * format: "#" for whole numbers and "#.##########" for decimal numbers. You * can override the default format pattern with * DataFormatter.setDefaultNumberFormat(Format). Note: the * default format will only be used when a Format cannot be created from the * cell's data format string. * *

* Note that by default formatted numeric values are trimmed. * Excel formats can contain spacers and padding and the default behavior is to strip them off. *

*

Example:

*

* Consider a numeric cell with a value 12.343 and format "##.##_ ". * The trailing underscore and space ("_ ") in the format adds a space to the end and Excel formats this cell as "12.34 ", * but DataFormatter trims the formatted value and returns "12.34". *

* You can enable spaces by passing the emulateCsv=true flag in the DateFormatter cosntructor. * If set to true, then the output tries to conform to what you get when you take an xls or xlsx in Excel and Save As CSV file: * * @author James May (james dot may at fmr dot com) * @author Robert Kish * */ public class DataFormatter { /** Pattern to find a number format: "0" or "#" */ private static final Pattern numPattern = Pattern.compile("[0#]+"); /** Pattern to find days of week as text "ddd...." */ private static final Pattern daysAsText = Pattern.compile("([d]{3,})", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE); /** Pattern to find "AM/PM" marker */ private static final Pattern amPmPattern = Pattern.compile("((A|P)[M/P]*)", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE); /** A regex to find patterns like [$$-1009] and [$?-452]. */ private static final Pattern specialPatternGroup = Pattern.compile("(\\[\\$[^-\\]]*-[0-9A-Z]+\\])"); /** * A regex to match the colour formattings rules. * Allowed colours are: Black, Blue, Cyan, Green, * Magenta, Red, White, Yellow, "Color n" (1<=n<=56) */ private static final Pattern colorPattern = Pattern.compile("(\\[BLACK\\])|(\\[BLUE\\])|(\\[CYAN\\])|(\\[GREEN\\])|" + "(\\[MAGENTA\\])|(\\[RED\\])|(\\[WHITE\\])|(\\[YELLOW\\])|" + "(\\[COLOR\\s*\\d\\])|(\\[COLOR\\s*[0-5]\\d\\])", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE); /** * Cells formatted with a date or time format and which contain invalid date or time values * show 255 pound signs ("#"). */ private static final String invalidDateTimeString; static { StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder(); for(int i = 0; i < 255; i++) buf.append('#'); invalidDateTimeString = buf.toString(); } /** * The decimal symbols of the locale used for formatting values. */ private final DecimalFormatSymbols decimalSymbols; /** * The date symbols of the locale used for formatting values. */ private final DateFormatSymbols dateSymbols; /** General format for whole numbers. */ private final Format generalWholeNumFormat; /** General format for decimal numbers. */ private final Format generalDecimalNumFormat; /** A default format to use when a number pattern cannot be parsed. */ private Format defaultNumFormat; /** * A map to cache formats. * Map formats */ private final Map formats; private boolean emulateCsv = false; /** * Creates a formatter using the {@link Locale#getDefault() default locale}. */ public DataFormatter() { this(false); } /** * Creates a formatter using the {@link Locale#getDefault() default locale}. * * @param emulateCsv whether to emulate CSV output. */ public DataFormatter(boolean emulateCsv) { this(Locale.getDefault()); this.emulateCsv = emulateCsv; } /** * Creates a formatter using the given locale. * * @param emulateCsv whether to emulate CSV output. */ public DataFormatter(Locale locale, boolean emulateCsv) { this(locale); this.emulateCsv = emulateCsv; } /** * Creates a formatter using the given locale. */ public DataFormatter(Locale locale) { dateSymbols = new DateFormatSymbols(locale); decimalSymbols = new DecimalFormatSymbols(locale); generalWholeNumFormat = new DecimalFormat("#", decimalSymbols); generalDecimalNumFormat = new DecimalFormat("#.##########", decimalSymbols); formats = new HashMap(); // init built-in formats Format zipFormat = ZipPlusFourFormat.instance; addFormat("00000\\-0000", zipFormat); addFormat("00000-0000", zipFormat); Format phoneFormat = PhoneFormat.instance; // allow for format string variations addFormat("[<=9999999]###\\-####;\\(###\\)\\ ###\\-####", phoneFormat); addFormat("[<=9999999]###-####;(###) ###-####", phoneFormat); addFormat("###\\-####;\\(###\\)\\ ###\\-####", phoneFormat); addFormat("###-####;(###) ###-####", phoneFormat); Format ssnFormat = SSNFormat.instance; addFormat("000\\-00\\-0000", ssnFormat); addFormat("000-00-0000", ssnFormat); } /** * Return a Format for the given cell if one exists, otherwise try to * create one.
