LookAheadStreamCaseInsensitive

public LookAheadStreamCaseInsensitive(java.io.InputStream parent,
                                      java.lang.String endMarker)

Create a LookAheadStream that is case insensitive. The default character set is used to parse the marker into bytes.

Parameters:

parent - The InputStream to wrap

endMarker - the marker at which to give EOF

public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException

Read a character from the parent stream, first checking that it doesn't form part of the end marker.

Overrides:
