Constructor Detail

WhitespaceString

public WhitespaceString()

Method Detail

uncompress

public abstract UnicodeString uncompress()

Uncompress the whitespace to a (normal) UnicodeString

Returns:

the uncompressed value

getWidth

public int getWidth()

Description copied from class: UnicodeString

Get the number of bits needed to hold all the characters in this string

Specified by:

getWidth in class UnicodeString

Returns:

7 for ascii characters (not used??), 8 for latin-1, 16 for BMP, 24 for general Unicode.

substring

public UnicodeString substring(long start,
                               long end)

Returns a new UnicodeString that is a subsequence of this sequence. The subsequence starts with the codepoint value at the specified index and ends with the codepoint value at index end - 1. The length (in codepoints) of thereturned sequence is end - start, so if start == end then an empty sequence is returned.

Specified by:

substring in class UnicodeString

Parameters:

start - the start index, inclusive

end - the end index, exclusive

Returns:

the specified subsequence

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if start or end are negative, if end is greater than length(), or if start is greater than end

indexOf

public long indexOf(int codePoint,
                    long from)

Description copied from class: UnicodeString

Get the position of the first occurrence of the specified codepoint, starting the search at a given position in the string

Specified by:

indexOf in class UnicodeString

Parameters:

codePoint - the sought codePoint

from - the position from which the search should start (0-based)

Returns:

the position (0-based) of the first occurrence found, or -1 if not found

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

write

public abstract void write(UnicodeWriter writer)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Write the value to a UnicodeWriter

Parameters:

writer - the writer to write to

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs downstream

writeEscape

public abstract void writeEscape(boolean[] specialChars,
                                 UnicodeWriter writer)
                          throws java.io.IOException

Write the value to a Writer with escaping of special characters

Parameters:

specialChars - identifies which characters are considered special

writer - the writer to write to

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs downstream
