Class IO

java.lang.Object

jhplot.IO

public class IOextends Object

Methods used for input-output serialization of Java objects. Includes write (read) for the standard serialization. Objects can be compressed on-fly using GZip. Also, one can use XML format for serialization (writeXML(), readXML()). XML serialization is based on XSream and not compressed. Files can be read from URL. This package is equivalent to jhplot.io.Serialized() used in jHepWork.

This utility also helps to work with files. You can use it to extract files and directories of a standard zip file to a destination directory, make list of files etc.

Method Detail

unzip

public static String unzip(String zipFilePath,                           String destDirectory)                    throws IOException

Extracts a zip file specified by the zipFilePath to a directory specified by destDirectory (will be created if does not exists)

Parameters:

zipFilePath - input zip file

destDirectory - output directory

Throws:

IOException

unzip

public static String unzip(String zipFilePath)                    throws IOException

Extracts a zip file specified by the zipFilePath to the curent directory.

Parameters:

zipFilePath - input zip file

Throws:

IOException

write

public static int write(Object o,                        String name,                        boolean compressed)

Write an object to a serialized file. Use the method read() to read it back.

Parameters:

o - object to serialize into a file

name - serialized file name for output.

compression - set true if file should be compressed.

Returns:

zero if no errors

write

public static int write(Object o,                        String name)

Write an object to a serialized file. Use the method read() to read it back. File will be compressed.

Parameters:

o - object to serialize into a file

name - serialized file name for output.

Returns:

zero if no errors

writeXML

public static int writeXML(Object o,                           String name)

Write an object to a serialized XML file. Use the method readXML() to get it back.

Parameters:

o - object to serialize into a file

name - serialized file name for the output.

Returns:

zero if no errors

read

public static Object read(File file,                          boolean compressed)

Read an object from a serialized file

Parameters:

file - serialized file for input.

compressed - set true if file is compressed.

Returns:

object

read

public static Object read(URL url,                          boolean compressed)

Read an object from an URL

Parameters:

name - serialized file name for input from URL

compressed - set true if file is compressed.

Returns:

object

read

public static Object read(String name)

Read an object from a serialized file. File is assumed to be compressed, i.e when it was saved using write(obj,name) method.

Parameters:

name - serialized file name for input.

Returns:

object

readXML

public static Object readXML(String name)

Read an object from a serialized XML file (should be written using writeXML() method).

Parameters:

name - serialized XML file name for the input.

Returns:

object

toXML

public static String toXML(Object ob)

Convert object to XML using XSream package

Parameters:

ob -

Returns:

XML string

fromXML

public static Object fromXML(String xml)

Get object to XML using XSream package

Parameters:

xml - XML string

Returns:

object

getFileList

public static ArrayList getFileList(String dir,                                    String m)

Get list of files in all directories (including subdirectories).

Parameters:

input - directory

m - a string for regular expression to find matches in file name
