Constructor Detail

CharSequenceReader

public CharSequenceReader(CharSequence charSequence)

Constructs a new instance with the specified character sequence.

Parameters:

charSequence - The character sequence, may be null

CharSequenceReader

public CharSequenceReader(CharSequence charSequence,
                          int start)

Constructs a new instance with a portion of the specified character sequence.

The start index is not strictly enforced to be within the bounds of the character sequence. This allows the character sequence to grow or shrink in size without risking any IndexOutOfBoundsException to be thrown. Instead, if the character sequence grows smaller than the start index, this instance will act as if all characters have been read.

Parameters:

charSequence - The character sequence, may be null

start - The start index in the character sequence, inclusive

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the start index is negative

Since:

2.7

CharSequenceReader

public CharSequenceReader(CharSequence charSequence,
                          int start,
                          int end)

Constructs a new instance with a portion of the specified character sequence.

The start and end indexes are not strictly enforced to be within the bounds of the character sequence. This allows the character sequence to grow or shrink in size without risking any IndexOutOfBoundsException to be thrown. Instead, if the character sequence grows smaller than the start index, this instance will act as if all characters have been read; if the character sequence grows smaller than the end, this instance will use the actual character sequence length.

Parameters:

charSequence - The character sequence, may be null

start - The start index in the character sequence, inclusive

end - The end index in the character sequence, exclusive

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the start index is negative, or if the end index is smaller than the start index

Since:

2.7

Method Detail

close

public void close()

Close resets the file back to the start and removes any marked position.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in class Reader

ready

public boolean ready()

Tells whether this stream is ready to be read.

Overrides:

ready in class Reader

Returns:

true if more characters from the character sequence are available, or false otherwise.

mark

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)

Mark the current position.

Overrides:

mark in class Reader

Parameters:

readAheadLimit - ignored

Mark is supported (returns true).

Overrides:

markSupported in class Reader

Returns:

Specified by:

read in class Reader

Parameters:
