Method Summary

Modifier and TypeMethod and Description
public void
close()

Implements abstract java.io.Reader.close.

Implements java.io.Closeable.close.

Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it.

private void
ensureOpen()

Check to make sure that the stream has not been closed

public void
mark(int
Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. Because the stream's input comes from a string, there is no actual limit, so this argument must not be negative, but is otherwise ignored.
readAheadLimit
)

Overrides java.io.Reader.mark.

Marks the present position in the stream.

public boolean
markSupported()

Overrides java.io.Reader.markSupported.

Tells whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does.

public int

Returns:

The character read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
read
()

Overrides java.io.Reader.read.

Reads a single character.

public int

Returns:

The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
read
(char[]
Destination buffer
cbuf
,
int
Offset at which to start storing characters
off
,

len
)

Implements abstract java.io.Reader.read.

Reads characters into a portion of an array.

public boolean

Returns:

True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input
ready
()

Overrides java.io.Reader.ready.

Tells whether this stream is ready to be read.

public void
reset()

Overrides java.io.Reader.reset.

Resets the stream to the most recent mark, or to the beginning of the string if it has never been marked.

public long

Returns:

The number of characters actually skipped

public StringReader(String s)

Creates a new string reader.

Parameters
s:String

String providing the character stream.

Method Detail

closeback to summary
public void close()

Implements abstract java.io.Reader.close.

Implements java.io.Closeable.close.

Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it. Once the stream has been closed, further read(), ready(), mark(), or reset() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect. This method will block while there is another thread blocking on the reader.

ensureOpenback to summary
private void ensureOpen() throws IOException

Check to make sure that the stream has not been closed

markback to summary
public void mark(int readAheadLimit) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.mark.

Marks the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will reposition the stream to this point.

Parameters
readAheadLimit:int

Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. Because the stream's input comes from a string, there is no actual limit, so this argument must not be negative, but is otherwise ignored.

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
IllegalArgumentException:
If readAheadLimit < 0
markSupportedback to summary
public boolean markSupported()

Overrides java.io.Reader.markSupported.

Tells whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does.

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.io.Reader.markSupported.

true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.

readback to summary
public int read() throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.read.

Reads a single character.

Returns:int

The character read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
readback to summary
public int read(char[] cbuf, int off, int len) throws IOException

Implements abstract java.io.Reader.read.

Reads characters into a portion of an array.

If len is zero, then no characters are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at least one character. If no character is available because the stream is at its end, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one character is read and stored into cbuf.

Parameters
cbuf:char[]

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

Destination buffer

off:int

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

Offset at which to start storing characters

len:int

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

Maximum number of characters to read

Returns:int

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
IndexOutOfBoundsException:
If off is negative, or len is negative, or len is greater than cbuf.length - off
readyback to summary
public boolean ready() throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.ready.

Tells whether this stream is ready to be read.

Returns:boolean

True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input

Exceptions
IOException:
If the stream is closed
resetback to summary
public void reset() throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.reset.

Resets the stream to the most recent mark, or to the beginning of the string if it has never been marked.

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
skipback to summary
public long skip(long n) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.skip.

Skips characters. If the stream is already at its end before this method is invoked, then no characters are skipped and zero is returned.

The n parameter may be negative, even though the skip method of the Reader superclass throws an exception in this case. Negative values of n cause the stream to skip backwards. Negative return values indicate a skip backwards. It is not possible to skip backwards past the beginning of the string.

If the entire string has been read or skipped, then this method has no effect and always returns 0.

Parameters
n:long

Doc from java.io.Reader.skip.

The number of characters to skip

Returns:long

Doc from java.io.Reader.skip.

The number of characters actually skipped

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
