Description Gary Strackbein 2003-10-20 19:32:18 UTC 
It seems that HSSFRow.getLastCellNum() returns the number of the last non-empty 
cell in the LONGEST row of the sheet, not in the CURRENT row of the sheet.  Is 
this the intent?  If so, it seems like it should be a method in HSSFSheet.  
Having it in HSSFRow implies (to me) that it is the number of the last non-
empty cell in the current row.
Eg., if the last cell in row 0 containing a value is the fifth cell and the 
last cell in row 1 containing a value is the sixth cell, the following code 
returns a value of 6 for count:

HSSFRow row = sheet.getRow(0);
int count = row.getLastCellNum();

Seems to me it should return 5.  The javadocs for this method say it returns 
the number of the last cell contained in THIS row.
Comment 1 Gary Strackbein 2004-02-02 18:12:39 UTC 
Can someone confirm for me whether my interpretation is correct, that 
HSSFRow.getLastCellNum() returns the number of the last non-empty 
cell in the LONGEST row of the sheet, not in the CURRENT row of the sheet?  
And, if so, whether it will stay that way?

Thanks.
Gary

Nope, it returns the information for the current row BUT the javadoc has not
been 100% correct for a long time. It returns the last cell numbver + 1.
