如何获取 excel 中选定字符串的行、列坐标

Question

how to get row, column coordinate in an excel file? I'm trying to confirm that user name is in the file. So i try to create a loop that read all the input in the excel file and find the same name as the user name and return the row and column. This is my code.

 private int ReadName(String Name){

    Iterator<Row> rowIterator = librarianSheet.iterator();
    while (rowIterator.hasNext()) {
        Row row = rowIterator.next();
        Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = row.cellIterator();
        while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
            Cell cell = cellIterator.next();
            if(cell.getCellType() == CellType.STRING){
                String random = cell.getRichStringCellValue().getString();
            }
            if(random == Name){

            }
        }
    }
    //return ;
}

But i seems to stuck there because i don't know what to do to get the desirable output. Please help me..

After finding the desired name, return the cell.

private Cell readName(String name){
    Iterator<Row> rowIterator = librarianSheet.iterator();
    while (rowIterator.hasNext()) {
        Row row = rowIterator.next();
        Iterator<Cell> cellIterator = row.cellIterator();
        while (cellIterator.hasNext()) {
            Cell cell = cellIterator.next();
            if(cell.getCellType() == CellType.STRING){
                String random = cell.getStringCellValue();
                if(random.equals(name)){
                    return cell;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return null;
}

And then you could use it like this:

Cell cell = readName("Muhammad");
if(cell != null) {
    int column = cell.getColumnIndex();
    int row = cell.getRowIndex();
}
