Method Summary

 void close()
    Close the stream.
 void mark(int readAheadLimit)
    Mark the present position in the stream.
 boolean markSupported()

Field Detail

 

 

buf

protected char[] buf
The character buffer.

 

 

pos

protected int pos
The current buffer position.

Constructor Detail

 

 

CharArrayReader

public CharArrayReader(char[] buf)
Create an CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

Parameters:
buf - Input buffer (not copied)

 

 

CharArrayReader

public CharArrayReader(char[] buf,
                       int offset,
                       int length)
Create an CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

Parameters:
buf - Input buffer (not copied)
offset - Offset of the first char to read
length - Number of chars to read

 

Method Detail

 

 

read

public int read()
         throws IOException
Read a single character.

Overrides:
read in class Reader
Returns:
The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 65535 (0x00-0xffff), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

 

 

read

public int read(char[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException
Read characters into a portion of an array.

Specified by:
read in class Reader
Parameters:
b - Destination buffer
off - Offset at which to start storing characters
len - Maximum number of characters to read
Returns:
The actual number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

 

 

skip

public long skip(long n)
          throws IOException
Skip characters.

Overrides:
skip in class Reader
Parameters:
n - The number of characters to skip
Returns:
The number of characters actually skipped
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

 

 

ready

public boolean ready()
              throws IOException
Tell whether this stream is ready to be read. Character-array readers are always ready to be read.

Overrides:
ready in class Reader
Returns:
True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input, false otherwise. Note that returning false does not guarantee that the next read will block.
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

 

 

markSupported

public boolean markSupported()
Tell whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does.

Overrides:
markSupported in class Reader
Returns:
true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.

 

 

mark

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
          throws IOException
Mark the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will reposition the stream to this point.

Overrides:
mark in class Reader
Parameters:
readAheadLimit - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. Because the stream's input comes from a character array, there is no actual limit; hence this argument is ignored.
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

 

 

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException
Reset the stream to the most recent mark, or to the beginning if it has never been marked.

Overrides:
reset in class Reader
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

 

 

close

public void close()
Close the stream.

Specified by:
close in class Reader
