StreamTokenizer
public class StreamTokenizer (Code)
The StreamTokenizer class takes an input stream and parses it into "tokens", allowing the tokens to be read one at a time. The parsing process is controlled by a table and a number of flags that can be set to various states. The stream tokenizer can recognize identifiers, numbers, quoted strings, and various comment styles.

Each byte read from the input stream is regarded as a character in the range '\u0000' through '\u00FF'. The character value is used to look up five possible attributes of the character: white space, alphabetic, numeric, string quote, and comment character. Each character can have zero or more of these attributes.

In addition, an instance has four flags. These flags indicate:

  • Whether line terminators are to be returned as tokens or treated as white space that merely separates tokens.
  • Whether C-style comments are to be recognized and skipped.
  • Whether C++-style comments are to be recognized and skipped.
  • Whether the characters of identifiers are converted to lowercase.

A typical application first constructs an instance of this class, sets up the syntax tables, and then repeatedly loops calling the nextToken method in each iteration of the loop until it returns the value TT_EOF.

Constructor Detail
StreamTokenizer
public StreamTokenizer(InputStream is)(Code)
Creates a stream tokenizer that parses the specified input stream. The stream tokenizer is initialized to the following default state:
  • All byte values 'A' through 'Z', 'a' through 'z', and '\u00A0' through '\u00FF' are considered to be alphabetic.
  • All byte values '\u0000' through '\u0020' are considered to be white space.
  • '/' is a comment character.
  • Single quote '\'' and double quote '"' are string quote characters.
  • Numbers are parsed.
  • Ends of lines are treated as white space, not as separate tokens.
  • C-style and C++-style comments are not recognized.

Parameters:
  is - an input stream.
See Also:   java.io.BufferedReader
See Also:   java.io.InputStreamReader
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.StreamTokenizer(java.io.Reader)



StreamTokenizer
public StreamTokenizer(Reader r)(Code)
Create a tokenizer that parses the given character stream.
Parameters:
  r - a Reader object providing the input stream.
since:
   JDK1.1




Method Detail
commentChar
public void commentChar(int ch)(Code)
Specified that the character argument starts a single-line comment. All characters from the comment character to the end of the line are ignored by this stream tokenizer.

Any other attribute settings for the specified character are cleared.
Parameters:
  ch - the character.




eolIsSignificant
public void eolIsSignificant(boolean flag)(Code)
Determines whether or not ends of line are treated as tokens. If the flag argument is true, this tokenizer treats end of lines as tokens; the nextToken method returns TT_EOL and also sets the ttype field to this value when an end of line is read.

A line is a sequence of characters ending with either a carriage-return character ('\r') or a newline character ('\n'). In addition, a carriage-return character followed immediately by a newline character is treated as a single end-of-line token.

If the flag is false, end-of-line characters are treated as white space and serve only to separate tokens.
Parameters:
  flag - true indicates that end-of-line charactersare separate tokens; false indicates thatend-of-line characters are white space.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.nextToken
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ttype
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.TT_EOL




lineno
public int lineno()(Code)
Return the current line number. the current line number of this stream tokenizer.



lowerCaseMode
public void lowerCaseMode(boolean fl)(Code)
Determines whether or not word token are automatically lowercased. If the flag argument is true, then the value in the sval field is lowercased whenever a word token is returned (the ttype field has the value TT_WORD by the nextToken method of this tokenizer.

If the flag argument is false, then the sval field is not modified.
Parameters:
  fl - true indicates that all word tokens shouldbe lowercased.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.nextToken
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ttype
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD




nextToken
public int nextToken() throws IOException(Code)
Parses the next token from the input stream of this tokenizer. The type of the next token is returned in the ttype field. Additional information about the token may be in the nval field or the sval field of this tokenizer.

Typical clients of this class first set up the syntax tables and then sit in a loop calling nextToken to parse successive tokens until TT_EOF is returned. the value of the ttype field.
exception:
  IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.nval
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.sval
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ttype




ordinaryChar
public void ordinaryChar(int ch)(Code)
Specifies that the character argument is "ordinary" in this tokenizer. It removes any special significance the character has as a comment character, word component, string delimiter, white space, or number character. When such a character is encountered by the parser, the parser treats it as a single-character token and sets ttype field to the character value.

Making a line terminator character "ordinary" may interfere with the ability of a StreamTokenizer to count lines. The lineno method may no longer reflect the presence of such terminator characters in its line count.
Parameters:
  ch - the character.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ttype




ordinaryChars
public void ordinaryChars(int low, int hi)(Code)
Specifies that all characters c in the range low <= c <= high are "ordinary" in this tokenizer. See the ordinaryChar method for more information on a character being ordinary.
Parameters:
  low - the low end of the range.
Parameters:
  hi - the high end of the range.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ordinaryChar(int)



parseNumbers
public void parseNumbers()(Code)
Specifies that numbers should be parsed by this tokenizer. The syntax table of this tokenizer is modified so that each of the twelve characters:
 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . -
 

has the "numeric" attribute.

When the parser encounters a word token that has the format of a double precision floating-point number, it treats the token as a number rather than a word, by setting the ttype field to the value TT_NUMBER and putting the numeric value of the token into the nval field.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.nval
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.TT_NUMBER
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ttype




pushBack
public void pushBack()(Code)
Causes the next call to the nextToken method of this tokenizer to return the current value in the ttype field, and not to modify the value in the nval or sval field.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.nextToken
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.nval
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.sval
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ttype



quoteChar
public void quoteChar(int ch)(Code)
Specifies that matching pairs of this character delimit string constants in this tokenizer.

When the nextToken method encounters a string constant, the ttype field is set to the string delimiter and the sval field is set to the body of the string.

If a string quote character is encountered, then a string is recognized, consisting of all characters after (but not including) the string quote character, up to (but not including) the next occurrence of that same string quote character, or a line terminator, or end of file. The usual escape sequences such as "\n" and "\t" are recognized and converted to single characters as the string is parsed.

Any other attribute settings for the specified character are cleared.
Parameters:
  ch - the character.
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.nextToken
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.sval
See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ttype

See Also:   java.io.StreamTokenizer.ordinaryChar(int)



slashSlashComments
public void slashSlashComments(boolean flag)(Code)
Determines whether or not the tokenizer recognizes C++-style comments. If the flag argument is true, this stream tokenizer recognizes C++-style comments. Any occurrence of two consecutive slash characters ('/') is treated as the beginning of a comment that extends to the end of the line.

If the flag argument is false, then C++-style comments are not treated specially.
Parameters:
  flag - true indicates to recognize and ignoreC++-style comments.




slashStarComments
public void slashStarComments(boolean flag)(Code)
Determines whether or not the tokenizer recognizes C-style comments. If the flag argument is true, this stream tokenizer recognizes C-style comments. All text between successive occurrences of /* and */ are discarded.
