how to read a specific row from the excel based some unique value in java using POI?

Suppose you want to fetch the employee whose eid = 1 , then you can put a check while you print it on console.
Since you dont know which row contains the eid=1 .So you have to parse each row.
The index of eid is 2 as it seems from the output.
So following changes can be performed.
private void printToConsole(List cellDataList) {
for (int i = 0; i < cellDataList.size(); i++) {
List cellTempList = (List) cellDataList.get(i);
if((HSSFCell) cellTempList.get(2).toString().equals("1"))
{
for (int j = 0; j < cellTempList.size(); j++) {
HSSFCell hssfCell = (HSSFCell) cellTempList.get(j);
String stringCellValue = hssfCell.toString();
System.out.print(stringCellValue + "\t");
}
}
else {
i++;
}
System.out.println();
}
}
