a sheet, or all the cells in a row. This is possible with
a simple for loop.</p>
<p>Luckily, this is very easy. HSSFRow defines a
<em>CellIterator</em> inner class to handle iterating over
the cells (get one with a call to <em>row.cellIterator()</em>),
and HSSFSheet provides a <em>rowIterator()</em> method to
give an iterator over all the rows.</p>
<p>(Unfortunately, due to the broken and
backwards-incompatible way that Java 5 foreach loops were
implemented, it isn't possible to use them on a codebase
that supports Java 1.4, as POI does)</p>

<section><title>Iterate over rows and cells using Java 1.5 foreach loops - OOXML Branch Only</title>
<p>Sometimes, you'd like to just iterate over all the rows in
a sheet, or all the cells in a row. If you are using Java
5 or later, then this is especially handy, as it'll allow the
new foreach loop support to work.</p>
<p>Luckily, this is very easy. Both HSSFSheet and HSSFRow
implement <em>java.lang.Iterable</em> to allow foreach
loops. For HSSFRow this allows access to the
<em>CellIterator</em> inner class to handle iterating over
the cells, and for HSSFSheet gives the
<em>rowIterator()</em> to iterator over all the rows.</p>
