Method Detail

setColumns

public void setColumns(Range[] ranges)

Set the column ranges. Used in conjunction with the RangeArrayPropertyEditor this property can be set in the form of a String describing the range boundaries, e.g. "1,4,7" or "1-3,4-6,7" or "1-2,4-5,7-10". If the last range is open then the rest of the line is read into that column (irrespective of the strict flag setting).

Parameters:

ranges - the column ranges expected in the input

See Also:

AbstractLineTokenizer.setStrict(boolean)

doTokenize

protected List<String> doTokenize(String line)

Yields the tokens resulting from the splitting of the supplied line.

Specified by:

doTokenize in class AbstractLineTokenizer

Parameters:

line - the line to be tokenised (can be null)

Returns:

the resulting tokens (empty if the line is null)

Throws:

IncorrectLineLengthException - if line length is greater than or less than the max range set.
