Detailed Description

Public class that respresents a two-dimensional table of strings.

This class represents a two-dimensional table of cells. Each cell holds a text string. The table is identified by its name. Rows are horizontal table entities identified by row indices, which are unsigned integers ranging from zero to the number of rows minus one. Columns are vertical table entities identified by (non-empty) column names. Column names can be case-sensitive (by default) or case-insensitive (customizable during construction). The class provides methods for table construction and destruction, assignment operator, equal operator, column and row based methods for addition, insertion, retrieval, update, deletion, cell based methods for update and retrieval, column search methods and table printing. Table cells are internally stored as vectors of text strings, where vectors can represent either columns (by default) or rows (customizable during construction).

The number of rows in the table.
Precondition:
None
Postcondition:

Exceptions:
 None

unsigned int ISTable::AddRow ( const vector< string > &  row = vector< string >(0)  ) 

Adds a row to the end of the table. For an empty table (0 rows), the number of inserted cells is equal to the number of table columns. For a non-empty table, the number of inserted cells is equal to the number of non-empty columns (this is in order to prevent creation of non-rectangular tables). The newly added row is, optionally, filled with values, starting at the first column.

Parameters:
[in] row - optional parameter that contains the values which are to be used to fill in the newly added row. If row is specified, filling starts at the first column and continues until size of row is reached. If row is not specified and table is empty, the newly inserted row is filled with empty values, where filling starts at the first column and continues until the number of columns is reached. If row is not specified and table is not empty, the newly inserted row is filled with empty values, where filling starts at the first column and continues until the number of non-empty columns is reached.
Returns:
The new number of rows after the row addition.
Precondition:
Table must have at least one column, which can be empty.

If table is not empty and row is specified, the size of row must be less than or equal to the number of non-empty columns. This is in order to prevent creation of non-rectangular tables.

If table is empty and row is specified, the size of row must be less than or equal to the number of columns.

Postcondition:
The number of rows is increased by one.
Exceptions:
EmptyContainerException - if table has no columns.
out_of_range - if table is not empty and size of row is greater than the number of non-empty columns.
out_of_range - if table is empty and size of row is greater than the number of columns.

unsigned int ISTable::InsertRow ( const unsigned int  atRowIndex,
const vector< string > &  row = vector< string >(0) 
)

Inserts a row at the specified row index and shifts, down by one, the old row and all other rows below it. For an empty table (0 rows), the number of inserted cells is equal to the number of table columns. For a non-empty table, the number of inserted cells is equal to the number of non-empty columns (this is in order to prevent creation of non-rectangular tables). The newly inserted row is optionally filled with values, starting at the first column.

Parameters:
[in] atRowIndex - index of the row at which the new row is to be inserted. Note: If atRowIndex is equal to the number of rows, the operation of this method is equivalent to AddRow().
[in] row - optional parameter that contains the values which are to be used to fill in the newly inserted row. If row is specified, filling starts at the first column and continues until size of row is reached. If row is not specified and table is empty, the newly inserted row is filled with empty values, where filling starts at the first column and continues until the number of columns is reached. If row is not specified and table is not empty, the newly inserted row is filled with empty values, where filling starts at the first column and continues until the number of non-empty columns is reached.
Returns:
The new number of rows after the row insertion.
Precondition:
Table must have at least one column, which can be empty.

atRowIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the number of table rows.

If table is not empty and row is specified, the size of row must be less than or equal to the number of non-empty columns. This is in order to prevent creation of non-rectangular tables.

If table is empty and row is specified, the size of row must be less than or equal to the number of columns.

Postcondition:
The number of rows is increased by one.

Row indices, of the rows below the inserted row, are invalidated by being increased by one.

Exceptions:
EmptyContainerException - if table has no columns.
out_of_range - if atRowIndex is greater than the number of table rows.
out_of_range - if table is not empty and size of row is greater than the number of non-empty columns.
out_of_range - if table is empty and size of row is greater than the number of columns.

void ISTable::FillRow ( const unsigned int  rowIndex,
const vector< string > &  row 
)

Returns:
None
Precondition:
rowIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the number of table rows.

The size of row must be less than or equal to the number of non-empty columns. This is in order to prevent creation of non-rectangular tables.

Parameters:
[out] row - retrieved row values
[in] rowIndex - index of the row which values are to be retrieved.
[in] fromColName - optional parameter which specifies the location of the first cell to be retrieved. If not specified the first column cell is used.
[in] toColName - optional parameter which specifies the location of the last cell to be retrieved. If not specified the last non-empty-column cell is used.
Returns:
None
Precondition:
rowIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the number of table rows.

If fromColName is specified, the column with name fromColName must be present and must be non-empty

If toColName is specified, the column with name toColName must be present and must be non-empty

If fromColName is different than toColName, it must come prior to it in the column order.

Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
out_of_range - if rowIndex is greater than or equal to the number of table rows.
NotFoundException - If fromColName is specified and column with name fromColName does not exist
NotFoundException - If toColName is specified and column with name toColName does not exist
out_of_range - If fromColName is specified and column with name fromColName exists but is empty
out_of_range - If toColName is specified and column with name toColName exists but is empty
out_of_range - if fromColName is different than toColName and it comes after it in the column order.

const vector< string > & ISTable::GetRow ( const unsigned int  rowIndex  ) 

Retrieves a constant reference to a row of values the table.

Parameters:
[in] rowIndex - index of a row to which a reference is to be retrieved.
Returns:
Constant reference to the row of values in the table.
Precondition:
rowIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the number of table rows.
Postcondition:
None
Exceptions:
out_of_range - if rowIndex is greater than or equal to the number of table rows.

void ISTable::ClearRow ( const unsigned int  rowIndex  ) 

Sets all cells in the row to empty string.

Parameters:
[in] rowIndex - index of the row that is to be cleared.
Returns:
None
Precondition:
rowIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the number of table rows.
Postcondition:
Number of table rows is unchanged.
Exceptions:
out_of_range - if rowIndex is greater than or equal to the number of table rows.

void ISTable::DeleteRow ( const unsigned int  rowIndex  ) 

Deletes a row with the specified index and shifts, up by one, all other rows below it.

Parameters:
[in] rowIndex - index of the row that is to be deleted.
Returns:
None
Precondition:
rowIndex must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than the number of table rows.
Postcondition:
