public class SpreadSheetColumnIterator
extends AbstractTransformer

Iterates through all columns of a spreadsheet and outputs the names.
The columns can be limited with the range parameter and furthermore with the regular expression applied to the names.

Input/output:
- accepts:
adams.core.io.SpreadSheet
- generates:
java.lang.String

Valid options are:

-D <int> (property: debugLevel)
    The greater the number the more additional info the scheme may output to
    the console (0 = off).
    default: 0
    minimum: 0
 

-name <java.lang.String> (property: name)
    The name of the actor.
    default: SpreadSheetColumnIterator
 

-annotation <adams.core.base.BaseText> (property: annotations)
    The annotations to attach to this actor.
    default:
 

-skip (property: skip)
    If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded
    as it is.
 

-stop-flow-on-error (property: stopFlowOnError)
    If set to true, the flow gets stopped in case this actor encounters an error;
     useful for critical actors.
 

-range <java.lang.String> (property: range)
    The range of columns to iterate over; A range is a comma-separated list
    of single 1-based indices or sub-ranges of indices ('start-end'); 'inv(..
    .)' inverts the range '...'; the following placeholders can be used as well:
     first, second, third, last_2, last_1, last.
    default: first-last
 

-regexp <adams.core.base.BaseRegExp> (property: regExp)
    The regular expression used to further limit the column set.
    default: .*
