Class StringSplitter

eve.data.DataObject

eve.util.SubString

eve.util.StringSplitter

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataUnit, Copyable, Comparable

public class StringSplitter
extends SubString

This is a special version of a SubString that can be used to progressively split an array of chars into component substrings one at a time.

It allows for more advanced splitting options than a SubString alone, and it can be reused using calls to getFirst().

getFirst

public boolean getFirst(char[] data,
                        int offset,
                        int length)

Get the first substring in the String. If the string is empty, this will return true and this SubString will be set to an empty String. If it is null it will return false;

Parameters:

data - the data to start spliting.

offset - the offset into the data.

length - the maximum length of the data.

Returns:

false only if data is null.

getNext

public boolean getNext()

Get the next substring in the String as specified in getFirst().
