This class is an input stream filter that provides the added functionality of keeping track of
the current line number.
A line is a sequence of bytes ending with either a carriage return character ('\r'), a newline
character ('\n'), or a carriage return character followed immediately by a line feed character. In all three cases the line terminating character(s) are returned as a single newline
character.
The line number begins at zero, and is incremented by 1 when a read returns a newline
character.
LineNumberInputStream
public LineNumberInputStream(InputStream in)
- Constructs a new line number input stream that reads its input from the
specified input stream.
- Parameters:
in
-
the underlying input stream
available
public int available()
throws IOException
- Determines the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream
without blocking.
- Note that if the underlying input stream (I-§2.11.1) is able to supply k
input characters without blocking, the LineNumberInputStream can guarantee
only to provide characters without blocking, because the k characters
from the underlyhing input stream might consist of pairs of '\r' and
'\n', which are converted to just '\n' characters.
- Returns:
- the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without
blocking.
- Throws
- IOException (I-§2.29)
- If an I/O error occurs.
- Overrides:
- available in class FilterInputStream (I-§2.11.3).
getLineNumber
public int getLineNumber()
- Returns:
- the current line number.
mark
public void mark(int readlimit)
- Marks the current position in this input stream. A subsequent call to the
reset method (I-§2.14.7) repositions this stream at the last marked position
so that subsequent reads re-read the same bytes.
- The mark method of LineNumberInputStream remembers the current line
number in a private variable, and then calls the mark method of the underlying input stream (I-§2.11.1).
- Parameters:
readlimit
-
the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before the mark
position becomes invalid.
- Overrides:
- mark in class FilterInputStream (I-§2.11.5).
read
public int read()
throws IOException
- Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. The value byte is
returned as an int in the range 0 to 255. If no byte is available because the
end of the stream has been reached, the value -1 is returned. This method
blocks until either input data is available, the end of the stream is detected,
or an exception is thrown.
- The read method of LineNumberInputStream calls the read method of the
underlying input stream (I-§2.11.1). It checks for carriage returns and
newline characters in the input, and modifies the current line number
(I-§2.14.3) as appropriate. A carriage return character or a carriage return
followed by a newline character are both converted into a single newline
character.
- Returns:
- the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of this stream is reached
- Throws
- IOException (I-§2.29)
- If an I/O error occurs.
- Overrides:
- read in class FilterInputStream (I-§2.11.7).
read
public int read(byte b[], int off, int len)
throws IOException
- Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.
This method blocks until some input is available.
- The read method of LineNumberInputStream repeatedly calls the read method
of zero arguments (I-§2.14.5) to fill in the byte array.
- Parameters:
b
-
the buffer into which the data is read
off
-
the start offset of the data
len
-
the maximum number of bytes read
- Returns:
- the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 is there is no more
data because the end of this stream has been reached.
- Throws
- IOException (I-§2.29)
- If an I/O error occurs.
- Overrides:
- read in class FilterInputStream (I-§2.11.9).
reset
public void reset()
throws IOException
- Repositions this stream to the position at the time the mark method
(I-§2.14.4) was last called on this input stream.
- The reset method of LineNumberInputStream resets the line number to be the
line number at the time the mark method was called, and then calls the
mark method of the underlying input stream (I-§2.11.1).
- Throws
- IOException (I-§2.29)
- If an I/O error occurs.
- Overrides:
- reset in class FilterInputStream (I-§2.11.10).
setLineNumber
public void setLineNumber(int lineNumber)
- Sets the line number to the specified argument.
- Parameters:
lineNumber
-
the new line number
skip
public long skip(long n)
throws IOException
- Skips over and discards n bytes of data from the input stream. The skip
method may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller
number of bytes, possibly zero. The actual number of bytes skipped is
returned.
- The skip method of LineNumberInputStream creates a byte array of length n
and then reads into it until n bytes have been read or the end of the stream
has been reached.
- Parameters:
n
-
the number of bytes to be skipped
- Returns:
- the actual number of bytes skipped.
- Throws
- IOException (I-§2.29)
- If an I/O error occurs.
- Overrides:
- skip in class FilterInputStream (I-§2.11.11).
