I'm using Java to read a form that is in an Excel spreadsheet that the user fills in with information about geometric shape. Ex:

      Shape :_________
      Color :_________
      Area:  _________
      Perimeter:________

So far the code I have can I can read what I want in the form and print out the values of Shape, Color, Area, Perimeter.

public class RangeSetter {

/**
 * @param args
 * @throws IOException 
 */
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(new File("test2.xls")); 
    //C:\Users\Yo\Documents
    // Setup code
    String cname = "Shape";
   HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(file); // retrieve workbook

    // Retrieve the named range
    // Will be something like "$C$10,$D$12:$D$14";
    int namedCellIdx = wb.getNameIndex(cname);
    Name aNamedCell = wb.getNameAt(namedCellIdx);

    // Retrieve the cell at the named range and test its contents
    // Will get back one AreaReference for C10, and
    //  another for D12 to D14
    AreaReference[] arefs = AreaReference.generateContiguous(aNamedCell.getRefersToFormula());
    for (int i=0; i<arefs.length; i++) {
        // Only get the corners of the Area
        // (use arefs[i].getAllReferencedCells() to get all cells)
        CellReference[] crefs = arefs[i].getAllReferencedCells();
        for (int j=0; j<crefs.length; j++) {
            // Check it turns into real stuff
            Sheet s = wb.getSheet(crefs[j].getSheetName());
            Row r = s.getRow(crefs[j].getRow());
            Cell c = r.getCell(crefs[j].getCol());
            if (c!= null ){
                switch(c.getCellType()){
                case Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING:
                System.out.println(c.getStringCellValue());

                }


            }
        }
    }

What I want to do is to create a method that gets the that information and another that sets it. So far I can only print to the console
