public class Tokenize
extends SystemFunction
implements CallableExpression

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.

Tokenize

public Tokenize()
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,
                           ExpressionVisitor.ContextItemType 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

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

call

public SequenceIterator call(SequenceIterator[] arguments,
                             XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException
Evaluate the expression

Specified by:
call in interface CallableExpression
Parameters:
arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as SequenceIterators
context - the dynamic evaluation context
Returns:
the result of the evaluation, in the form of a SequenceIterator
Throws:
XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression
