    • Method Detail

      • getLineNumber

        int getLineNumber()
        Get the 1-based offset of the current line.
        Returns:
        1-based offset.
      • getFile

        java.lang.String getFile()
        Get the name of the file of the current line.
        Returns:
        file name
      • getDir

        java.lang.String getDir()
        Get the name of the directory of the current file
        Returns:
        directory name
      • hasMoreLines

        boolean hasMoreLines()
        Check whether there are any lines left to read. If a previous call to this method resulted in a value of false, immediately returned the cached value. Otherwise, delegate to peek_line to determine if there is a next line available.
        Returns:
        True if there are more lines, False if there are not.
      • isNextLineEmpty

        boolean isNextLineEmpty()
        Peek at the next line and check if it's empty (i.e., whitespace only)

        This method Does not consume the line from the stack.

        Returns:
        True if the there are no more lines or if the next line is empty
      • read

        java.lang.String read()
        Get the remaining lines of source data joined as a String. Delegates to Reader#read_lines, then joins the result.
        Returns:
        the lines read joined as a String
      • readLines

        java.util.List<java.lang.String> readLines()
        Get the remaining lines of source data. This method calls Reader#read_line repeatedly until all lines are consumed and returns the lines as a String Array. This method differs from Reader#lines in that it processes each line in turn, hence triggering any preprocessors implemented in sub-classes.
        Returns:
        the lines read as a String Array
      • readLine

        java.lang.String readLine()
        Get the next line of source data. Consumes the line returned.
        Returns:
        the String of the next line of the source data if data is present or nulll if there is no more data.
      • getLines

        java.util.List<java.lang.String> getLines()
        Returns:
        A copy of the String List of lines remaining in this Reader
      • restoreLine

        void restoreLine​(java.lang.String line)
        Push the String line onto the beginning of the Array of source data.

        Since this line was (assumed to be) previously retrieved through the reader, it is marked as seen.

      • restoreLines

        void restoreLines​(java.util.List<java.lang.String> line)
        Push multiple lines onto the beginning of the Array of source data.

        Since this lines were (assumed to be) previously retrieved through the reader, they are marked as seen.

      • peekLine

        java.lang.String peekLine()
        Peek at the next line of source data. Processes the line, if not already marked as processed, but does not consume it.

        This method will probe the reader for more lines.

      • peekLines

        java.util.List<java.lang.String> peekLines​(int lineCount)
        Peek at the next multiple lines of source data. Processes the lines, if not already marked as processed, but does not consume them.
        Parameters:
        lineCount - The Integer number of lines to peek.
        Returns:
        A String List of the next multiple lines of source data, or an empty list if there are no more lines in this Reader.
      • advance

        boolean advance()
        Advance to the next line by discarding the line at the front of the stack
        Returns:
        a Boolean indicating whether there was a line to discard.
      • terminate

        void terminate()
        Public: Advance to the end of the reader, consuming all remaining lines
