org.postgresql.util.PGtokenizer

public class PGtokenizer
extends Object

This class is used to tokenize the text output of org.postgres. It's mainly used by the geometric classes, but is useful in parsing any output from custom data types output from org.postgresql.

Constructor Detail

PGtokenizer

public PGtokenizer(String string,
                   char delim)

Create a tokeniser.

We could have used StringTokenizer to do this, however, we needed to handle nesting of '(' ')' '[' ']' '<' and '>' as these are used by the geometric data types.

Parameters:

string - containing tokens

delim - single character to split the tokens

Method Detail

tokenize

public int tokenize(String string,
                    char delim)

This resets this tokenizer with a new string and/or delimiter.

Parameters:

string - containing tokens

delim - single character to split the tokens

Returns:

number of tokens

getSize

public int getSize()

Returns:

the number of tokens available

getToken

public String getToken(int n)

Parameters:

n - Token number ( 0 ... getSize()-1 )

Returns:

The token value

tokenizeToken

public PGtokenizer tokenizeToken(int n,
                                 char delim)

This returns a new tokenizer based on one of our tokens.

The geometric datatypes use this to process nested tokens (usually PGpoint).

Parameters:

n - Token number ( 0 ... getSize()-1 )

delim - The delimiter to use

Returns:

A new instance of PGtokenizer based on the token

remove

public static String remove(String s,
                            String l,
                            String t)

This removes the lead/trailing strings from a string.

Parameters:

s - Source string

l - Leading string to remove

t - Trailing string to remove

Returns:

String without the lead/trailing strings

remove

public void remove(String l,
                   String t)

This removes the lead/trailing strings from all tokens.

Parameters:

l - Leading string to remove

t - Trailing string to remove

removePara

public static String removePara(String s)

Removes ( and ) from the beginning and end of a string.

Parameters:

s - String to remove from

Returns:

String without the ( or )

removePara

public void removePara()

Removes ( and ) from the beginning and end of all tokens.

removeBox

public static String removeBox(String s)

Removes [ and ] from the beginning and end of a string.

Parameters:

s - String to remove from

Returns:

String without the [ or ]

removeBox

public void removeBox()

Removes [ and ] from the beginning and end of all tokens.

removeAngle

public static String removeAngle(String s)

Removes < and > from the beginning and end of a string.

Parameters:

s - String to remove from

Returns:

String without the < or >

removeAngle

public void removeAngle()

Removes < and > from the beginning and end of all tokens.

removeCurlyBrace

public static String removeCurlyBrace(String s)

Removes curly braces { and } from the beginning and end of a string.

Parameters:

s - String to remove from

Returns:

String without the { or }

removeCurlyBrace

public void removeCurlyBrace()

Removes < and > from the beginning and end of all tokens.
