public class SpreadSheetAnonymize
extends AbstractSpreadSheetTransformer
implements Randomizable

Anonymizes a range of columns in a spreadsheet.

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

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: SpreadSheetAnonymize
 

-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.
 

-col-regexp <adams.core.base.BaseRegExp> (property: columnsRegExp)
    The regular expression applied to the column names to locate the columns 
    to anonymize.
    default: ^ID$
 

-seed <long> (property: seed)
    The seed value for the anonymizers.
    default: 1
