Class LineIterator

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.picture.internal.LineIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String>

public class LineIterator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String>

An Iterator over the lines in a Reader.

LineIterator holds a reference to an open Reader. When you have finished with the iterator you should close the reader to free internal resources. This can be done by closing the reader directly, or by calling the close() or closeQuietly(LineIterator) method on the iterator.

The recommended usage pattern is:

 LineIterator it = FileUtils.lineIterator(file, "UTF-8");
 try {
   while (it.hasNext()) {
     String line = it.nextLine();
     // do something with line
   }
 } finally {
   it.close();
 }

Constructor Detail

LineIterator

public LineIterator(java.io.Reader reader)
             throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Constructs an iterator of the lines for a Reader.

Parameters:

reader - the Reader to read from, not null

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the reader is null

Method Detail

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Indicates whether the Reader has more lines. If there is an IOException then close() will be called on this instance.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String>

Returns:

true if the Reader has more lines

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if an IO exception occurs

isValidLine

protected boolean isValidLine(java.lang.String line)

Overridable method to validate each line that is returned.

Parameters:

line - the line that is to be validated

Returns:

true if valid, false to remove from the iterator

next

public java.lang.String next()

Returns the next line in the wrapped Reader.

Specified by:

next in interface java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String>

Returns:

the next line from the input

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there is no line to return

nextLine

public java.lang.String nextLine()

Returns the next line in the wrapped Reader.

Returns:

the next line from the input

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there is no line to return

close

public void close()

Closes the underlying Reader quietly. This method is useful if you only want to process the first few lines of a larger file. If you do not close the iterator then the Reader remains open. This method can safely be called multiple times.

remove

public void remove()

Unsupported.

Specified by:

remove in interface java.util.Iterator<java.lang.String>

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - always

closeQuietly

public static void closeQuietly(LineIterator iterator)

Closes the iterator, handling null and ignoring exceptions.

Parameters:

iterator - the iterator to close
