Class CharFilter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.lang.Readable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    BaseCharFilter, PersianCharFilter
    public abstract class CharFilter
extends java.io.Reader
    Subclasses of CharFilter can be chained to filter a Reader They can be used as Reader with additional offset correction. Tokenizers will automatically use correctOffset(int) if a CharFilter subclass is used.

    This class is abstract: at a minimum you must implement Reader.read(char[], int, int), transforming the input in some way from input, and correct(int) to adjust the offsets to match the originals.

    You can optionally provide more efficient implementations of additional methods like Reader.read(), Reader.read(char[]), Reader.read(java.nio.CharBuffer), but this is not required.

    For examples and integration with Analyzer, see the Analysis package documentation.

      • CharFilter

        public CharFilter​(java.io.Reader input)
        Create a new CharFilter wrapping the provided reader.
        Parameters:
        input - a Reader, can also be a CharFilter for chaining.

      • close

        public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException
        Closes the underlying input stream.

        NOTE: The default implementation closes the input Reader, so be sure to call super.close() when overriding this method.
