Class TextLinesIterator

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.tree.iter.TextLinesIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

SequenceIterator<StringValue>

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnparsedTextIterator

public abstract class TextLinesIterator
extends Object
implements SequenceIterator<StringValue>

An iterator that iterates over a file line by line. It is abstract because it does not supply the getAnother() method

TextLinesIterator

public TextLinesIterator(LineNumberReader reader,
                 SourceLocator location,
                 URI uri,
                 NameChecker checker)
                  throws XPathException

Create a TextLinesIterator over a given reader

Parameters:

reader - the reader that reads the file

checker - checks that the characters in the file are legal XML characters

location - the location of the instruction being executed, for diagnostics

uri - the URI of the file being read, for diagnostics

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

Method Detail

next

public StringValue next()
                 throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator, in particular it affects the result of subsequent calls of position() and current().

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator<StringValue>

Returns:

the next item, or null if there are no more items. Once a call on next() has returned null, no further calls should be made. The preferred action for an iterator if subsequent calls on next() are made is to return null again, and all implementations within Saxon follow this rule.

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs retrieving the next item

current

public StringValue current()

The current line in the file

Specified by:

current in interface SequenceIterator<StringValue>

Returns:

returns StringValue: the current line in the file

position

public int position()

The line position currently being read

Specified by:

position in interface SequenceIterator<StringValue>

Returns:

returns the current line in the file

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.

(Currently, closing an iterator is important only when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.)

Specified by:

close in interface SequenceIterator<StringValue>

getProperties

public int getProperties()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface SequenceIterator<StringValue>

Returns:

the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as SequenceIterator.GROUNDED, SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and SequenceIterator.LOOKAHEAD. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
