Class WordnetFile.LineIterator

java.lang.Object
  edu.mit.jwi.data.WordnetFile.LineIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator<String>

Direct Known Subclasses:

BinarySearchWordnetFile.BinarySearchLineIterator, DirectAccessWordnetFile.DirectLineIterator

Enclosing class:

WordnetFile<T>

protected abstract class WordnetFile.LineIterator
extends Object
implements Iterator<String>

Used to iterate over lines in a file. It is a look-ahead iterator. This iterator does not support the remove method; if that method is called, it throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Since:

JWI 1.0

Version:

2.2.2

Field Summary

protected ByteBuffer	itrBuffer
protected String	next
protected ByteBuffer	parentBuffer

Constructor Summary

WordnetFile.LineIterator(ByteBuffer buffer, String key)
Constructs a new line iterator over this buffer, starting at the specified key.

Method Summary

protected void	advance() Skips over comment lines to find the next line that would be returned by the iterator in a call to next().
protected abstract void	findFirstLine(String key) Advances the iterator the first line the iterator should return, based on the specified key.
String	getNextLine() Returns the line currently stored as the 'next' line, if any.
boolean	hasNext()
protected boolean	isComment(String line) Returns true if the specified line is a comment; false otherwise
String	next()
void	remove()

Constructor Detail

WordnetFile.LineIterator

public WordnetFile.LineIterator(ByteBuffer buffer,
                                String key)

Constructs a new line iterator over this buffer, starting at the specified key.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer over which the iterator should iterator; may not be null

key - the key of the line to start at; may be null

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the specified buffer is null

Since:

JWI 1.0

Method Detail

getNextLine

public String getNextLine()

Returns the line currently stored as the 'next' line, if any. Is a pure getter; does not increment the iterator.

Returns:

the next line that will be parsed and returned by this iterator, or null if none

Since:

JWI 2.2.0

findFirstLine

protected abstract void findFirstLine(String key)

Advances the iterator the first line the iterator should return, based on the specified key. If the key is not found in the file, it will advance the iterator past all lines.

Parameters:

key - the key indexed the first line to be returned by the iterator

Since:

JWI 1.0

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Specified by:

hasNext in interface Iterator<String>

advance

protected void advance()

Skips over comment lines to find the next line that would be returned by the iterator in a call to next().

Since:

JWI 1.0

isComment

protected boolean isComment(String line)

Returns true if the specified line is a comment; false otherwise

Parameters:

line - the line to be tested

Returns:

true if the specified line is a comment; false otherwise

Since:

JWI 1.0

next

public String next()

Specified by:

next in interface Iterator<String>

remove

public final void remove()

Specified by:

remove in interface Iterator<String>
