Constructor Details

XStringForFSB

public XStringForFSB(FastStringBuffer val,
                     int start,
                     int length)
Construct a XNodeSet object.
Parameters:
val - FastStringBuffer object this will wrap, must be non-null.
start - The start position in the array.
length - The number of characters to read from the array.

Method Details

appendToFsb

public void appendToFsb(FastStringBuffer fsb)
Cast result object to a string.
Overrides:
appendToFsb in interface XObject

charAt

public char charAt(int index)
Returns the character at the specified index. An index ranges from 0 to length() - 1. The first character of the sequence is at index 0, the next at index 1, and so on, as for array indexing.
Specified by:
charAt in interface XMLString
Overrides:
charAt in interface XString
Parameters:
index - the index of the character.
Returns:
the character at the specified index of this string. The first character is at index 0.

compareTo

public int compareTo(XMLString xstr)
Compares two strings lexicographically.
Specified by:
compareTo in interface XMLString
Overrides:
compareTo in interface XString
Parameters:
Returns:
the value 0 if the argument string is equal to this string; a value less than 0 if this string is lexicographically less than the string argument; and a value greater than 0 if this string is lexicographically greater than the string argument.

compareToIgnoreCase

public int compareToIgnoreCase(XMLString xstr)
Compares two strings lexicographically, ignoring case considerations. This method returns an integer whose sign is that of this.toUpperCase().toLowerCase().compareTo( str.toUpperCase().toLowerCase()).

Note that this method does not take locale into account, and will result in an unsatisfactory ordering for certain locales. The java.text package provides collators to allow locale-sensitive ordering.

Specified by:
compareToIgnoreCase in interface XMLString
Overrides:
compareToIgnoreCase in interface XString
Parameters:
Returns:
a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the the specified String is greater than, equal to, or less than this String, ignoring case considerations.
Since:
1.2

concat

public XMLString concat(String str)
Concatenates the specified string to the end of this string.
Specified by:
concat in interface XMLString
Overrides:
concat in interface XString
Parameters:
str - the String that is concatenated to the end of this String.
Returns:
a string that represents the concatenation of this object's characters followed by the string argument's characters.

dispatchAsComment

public void dispatchAsComment(org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler lh)
            throws org.xml.sax.SAXException
Directly call the comment method on the passed LexicalHandler for the string-value.
Specified by:
dispatchAsComment in interface XMLString
Overrides:

Specified by:
dispatchCharactersEvents in interface XMLString
Overrides:
dispatchCharactersEvents in interface XString
Parameters:
ch - A non-null reference to a ContentHandler.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj2)
Compares this string to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a String object that represents the same sequence of characters as this object.
Specified by:
equals in interface XMLString
Overrides:
equals in interface XString
Parameters:
Returns:
true if the String are equal; false otherwise.

equals

public boolean equals(String anotherString)
Tell if two objects are functionally equal.
Parameters:
Returns:
true if the two objects are equal

equals

public boolean equals(XMLString obj2)
Compares this string to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a String object that represents the same sequence of characters as this object.
Specified by:

equals in interface XString
Parameters:
obj2 - Object to compare this to
Returns:
true if the two objects are equal

equalsIgnoreCase

Compares this String to another String, ignoring case considerations. Two strings are considered equal ignoring case if they are of the same length, and corresponding characters in the two strings are equal ignoring case.
Specified by:
equalsIgnoreCase in interface XMLString
Overrides:
equalsIgnoreCase in interface XString
Parameters:
anotherString - the String to compare this String against.
Returns:
true if the argument is not null and the Strings are equal, ignoring case; false otherwise.

fixWhiteSpace

public XMLString fixWhiteSpace(boolean trimHead,
                               boolean trimTail,
                               boolean doublePunctuationSpaces)
Conditionally trim all leading and trailing whitespace in the specified String. All strings of white space are replaced by a single space character (#x20), except spaces after punctuation which receive double spaces if doublePunctuationSpaces is true. This function may be useful to a formatter, but to get first class results, the formatter should probably do it's own white space handling based on the semantics of the formatting object.
Specified by:
fixWhiteSpace in interface XMLString
Overrides:
fixWhiteSpace in interface XString
Parameters:
trimHead - Trim leading whitespace?
trimTail - Trim trailing whitespace?
doublePunctuationSpaces - Use double spaces for punctuation?

Returns:
The string this wraps or the empty string if null

getChars

public void getChars(int srcBegin,
                     int srcEnd,
                     dst[] ,
                     int dstBegin)
Copies characters from this string into the destination character array.
Specified by:
getChars in interface XMLString
Overrides:
getChars in interface XString
Parameters:
srcBegin - index of the first character in the string to copy.
srcEnd - index after the last character in the string to copy.
dstBegin - the start offset in the destination array.

hasString

public boolean hasString()
Tell if this object contains a java String object.
Specified by:
hasString in interface XMLString
Overrides:
hasString in interface XString
Returns:
true if this XMLString can return a string without creating one.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hashcode for this string. The hashcode for a String object is computed as
 s[0]*31^(n-1) + s[1]*31^(n-2) + ... + s[n-1]
 
using int arithmetic, where s[i] is the ith character of the string, n is the length of the string, and ^ indicates exponentiation. (The hash value of the empty string is zero.)
Specified by:
hashCode in interface XMLString
Overrides:
hashCode in interface XString
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.

indexOf

public int indexOf(int ch)
Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character. If a character with value ch occurs in the character sequence represented by this String object, then the index of the first such occurrence is returned -- that is, the smallest value k such that:
 this.charAt(k) == ch
 
is true. If no such character occurs in this string, then -1 is returned.
Specified by:
indexOf in interface XMLString
Overrides:
indexOf in interface XString
Parameters:
ch - a character.
Returns:
the index of the first occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object, or -1 if the character does not occur.

indexOf

public int indexOf(int ch,
                   int fromIndex)
Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of the specified character, starting the search at the specified index.

If a character with value ch occurs in the character sequence represented by this String object at an index no smaller than fromIndex, then the index of the first such occurrence is returned--that is, the smallest value k such that:

 (this.charAt(k) == ch) && (k >= fromIndex)
 
is true. If no such character occurs in this string at or after position fromIndex, then -1 is returned.

There is no restriction on the value of fromIndex. If it is negative, it has the same effect as if it were zero: this entire string may be searched. If it is greater than the length of this string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to the length of this string: -1 is returned.

Specified by:
indexOf in interface XMLString
Overrides:
indexOf in interface XString
Parameters:
ch - a character.
fromIndex - the index to start the search from.
Returns:
the index of the first occurrence of the character in the character sequence represented by this object that is greater than or equal to fromIndex, or -1 if the character does not occur.

length

public int length()
Returns the length of this string.
Specified by:
length in interface XMLString
Overrides:
length in interface XString
Returns:
the length of the sequence of characters represented by this object.

object

public Object object()
Since this object is incomplete without the length and the offset, we have to convert to a string when this function is called.
Overrides:
object in interface XObject
Returns:
The java String representation of this object.

startsWith

public boolean startsWith(XMLString prefix)
Tests if this string starts with the specified prefix.
Specified by:
startsWith in interface XMLString
Overrides:
startsWith in interface XString
Parameters:
prefix - the prefix.
Returns:
true if the character sequence represented by the argument is a prefix of the character sequence represented by this string; false otherwise. Note also that true will be returned if the argument is an empty string or is equal to this String object as determined by the equals(Object) method.
Since:
JDK1. 0

startsWith

public boolean startsWith(XMLString prefix,
                          int toffset)
Tests if this string starts with the specified prefix beginning a specified index.
Specified by:
startsWith in interface XMLString
Overrides:
startsWith in interface XString
Parameters:
prefix - the prefix.
toffset - where to begin looking in the string.
Returns:
true if the character sequence represented by the argument is a prefix of the substring of this object starting at index toffset; false otherwise. The result is false if toffset is negative or greater than the length of this String object; otherwise the result is the same as the result of the expression
this.subString(toffset).startsWith(prefix)

str

public String str()
Cast result object to a string.
Overrides:
str in interface XString
Returns:
The string this wraps or the empty string if null

substring

public XMLString substring(int beginIndex)
Returns a new string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins with the character at the specified index and extends to the end of this string.

Examples:

 "unhappy".substring(2) returns "happy"
 "Harbison".substring(3) returns "bison"
 "emptiness".substring(9) returns "" (an empty string)
 
Specified by:

the specified substring.

substring

public XMLString substring(int beginIndex,
                           int endIndex)

Specified by:
substring in interface XMLString
Overrides:
substring in interface XString
Parameters:
beginIndex - the beginning index, inclusive.
endIndex - the ending index, exclusive.
Returns:
the specified substring.

toDouble

public double toDouble()
Convert a string to a double -- Allowed input is in fixed notation ddd.fff. %OPT% CHECK PERFORMANCE against generating a Java String and converting it to double. The advantage of running in native machine code -- perhaps even microcode, on some systems -- may more than make up for the cost of allocating and discarding the additional object. We need to benchmark this. %OPT% More importantly, we need to decide whether we _care_ about the performance of this operation. Does XString.toDouble constitute any measurable percentage of our typical runtime? I suspect not!
Specified by:
toDouble in interface XMLString
Overrides:
toDouble in interface XString
Returns:
A double value representation of the string, or return Double.NaN if the string can not be converted.

trim

public XMLString trim()
Removes white space from both ends of this string.
Specified by:
trim in interface XMLString
Overrides:
trim in interface XString
Returns:
this string, with white space removed from the front and end.
