parseSynsetID

public static SynsetID parseSynsetID(String value)

Convenience method for transforming the result of the toString() method back into an ISynsetID. Synset IDs are always 14 characters long and have the following format: SID-########-C, where ######## is the zero-filled eight decimal digit offset of the synset, and C is the upper-case character code indicating the part of speech.

Parameters:

value - the string representation of the id; may include leading or trailing whitespace

a synset id object corresponding to the specified string representation

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the specified string is null

IllegalArgumentException - if the specified string is not a properly formatted synset id
