public class Tokenize
extends SystemFunction

This class implements the tokenize() function for regular expression matching. This returns a sequence of strings representing the unmatched substrings: the separators which match the regular expression are not returned.

Method Detail

simplify

public Expression simplify(ExpressionVisitor visitor)
                    throws XPathException

Simplify and validate. This is a pure function so it can be simplified in advance if the arguments are known

Overrides:

simplify in class FunctionCall

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

Returns:

the simplified expression

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during expression rewriting

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                           ItemType contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class SystemFunction

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

getCompiledRegularExpression

public RegularExpression getCompiledRegularExpression()

Get the compiled regular expression if available, otherwise return null

Returns:

the compiled regular expression, or null

iterate

public SequenceIterator iterate(XPathContext c)
                         throws XPathException

Iterate over the results of the function

Specified by:

iterate in interface SequenceIterable

Overrides:

iterate in class Expression

Parameters:

c - supplies the context for evaluation

Returns:

a SequenceIterator that can be used to iterate over the result of the expression

Throws:

XPathException - if any dynamic error occurs evaluating the expression

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Simple command-line interface for testing.

Parameters:

args - (1) the string to be tokenized (2) the regular expression

Throws:

Exception
