Constructor Detail

UTFBlockLexiconInputStream

public UTFBlockLexiconInputStream()

A default constructor.

UTFBlockLexiconInputStream

public UTFBlockLexiconInputStream(java.lang.String filename)

A constructor given the filename.

Parameters:

filename - java.lang.String the name of the lexicon file.

UTFBlockLexiconInputStream

public UTFBlockLexiconInputStream(java.io.File file)

A constructor given the filename.

Parameters:

file - java.io.File the name of the lexicon file.

Method Detail

readNextEntry

public int readNextEntry()
                  throws java.io.IOException

Read the next lexicon entry.

Overrides:

readNextEntry in class BlockLexiconInputStream

Returns:

the number of bytes read if there is no error, otherwise returns -1 in case of EOF

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

numberOfEntries

public int numberOfEntries()

Returns the number of entries in the lexicon file.

Overrides:

numberOfEntries in class BlockLexiconInputStream

readNextEntryBytes

public int readNextEntryBytes()
                       throws java.io.IOException

Read the next lexicon entry, where the term is saved as a byte array. No attempt is made to parse the byte array and the padding bytes into a String. Use this method when you want to get the bytes of the string using getTermCharacters(). This method does NOT work with getTerm()

Overrides:

readNextEntryBytes in class LexiconInputStream

Returns:

the number of bytes read if there is no error, otherwise returns -1 in case of EOF

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

print

public void print()

Prints out the contents of the lexicon file to check.

Overrides:

print in class BlockLexiconInputStream

getTerm

public java.lang.String getTerm()

Returns the string representation of the term.

Overrides:

getTerm in class LexiconInputStream

Returns:

the string representation of the already found term.

getTermCharacters

public byte[] getTermCharacters()

Returns the bytes of the String. Only valid is readNextEntryByte was used.

Overrides:

getTermCharacters in class LexiconInputStream

Returns:

the byte array holding the term's byte representation
