Constructor Detail

DelimitedLineTokenizer

public DelimitedLineTokenizer()

Create a new instance of the DelimitedLineTokenizer class for the common case where the delimiter is a comma.

See Also:

DelimitedLineTokenizer(String), DELIMITER_COMMA

DelimitedLineTokenizer

public DelimitedLineTokenizer(String delimiter)

Create a new instance of the DelimitedLineTokenizer class.

Parameters:

delimiter - the desired delimiter

Method Detail

setDelimiter

public void setDelimiter(String delimiter)

Setter for the delimiter character.

Parameters:

delimiter -

setIncludedFields

public void setIncludedFields(int[] includedFields)

The fields to include in the output by position (starting at 0). By default all fields are included, but this property can be set to pick out only a few fields from a larger set. Note that if field names are provided, their number must match the number of included fields.

Parameters:

includedFields - the included fields to set

setQuoteCharacter

public void setQuoteCharacter(char quoteCharacter)

Public setter for the quoteCharacter. The quote character can be used to extend a field across line endings or to enclose a String which contains the delimiter. Inside a quoted token the quote character can be used to escape itself, thus "a""b""c" is tokenized to a"b"c.

Parameters:

quoteCharacter - the quoteCharacter to set

See Also:

DEFAULT_QUOTE_CHARACTER

doTokenize

protected List<String> doTokenize(String line)

Yields the tokens resulting from the splitting of the supplied line.

Specified by:

doTokenize in class AbstractLineTokenizer

Parameters:

line - the line to be tokenized

Returns:

the resulting tokens

isQuoteCharacter

protected boolean isQuoteCharacter(char c)

Is the supplied character a quote character?

Parameters:

c - the character to be checked

Returns:

true if the supplied character is an quote character
