Constructor Detail

AbstractCsvReader

public AbstractCsvReader(java.io.Reader reader,
                         CsvPreference preferences)

Constructs a new AbstractCsvReader, using the default Tokenizer.

Parameters:

reader - the reader

preferences - the CSV preferences

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if reader or preferences are null

AbstractCsvReader

public AbstractCsvReader(ITokenizer tokenizer,
                         CsvPreference preferences)

Constructs a new AbstractCsvReader, using a custom Tokenizer (which should have already been set up with the Reader, CsvPreference, and CsvContext). This constructor should only be used if the default Tokenizer doesn't provide the required functionality.

Parameters:

tokenizer - the tokenizer

preferences - the CSV preferences

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if tokenizer or preferences are null

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closes the Tokenizer and its associated Reader.

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

get

public java.lang.String get(int n)

Get column N of the current line (column indexes begin at 1).

Specified by:

get in interface ICsvReader

Parameters:

n - the index of the column to get

Returns:

the n'th column

getHeader

public java.lang.String[] getHeader(boolean firstLineCheck)
                             throws java.io.IOException

This method is used to get an optional header of the CSV file and move the file cursor to the first row containing data (the second row from the top). The header can subsequently be used as the nameMapping array for read operations.

Specified by:

getHeader in interface ICsvReader

Parameters:

firstLineCheck - if true, ensures that this method is only called when reading the first line (as that's where the header is meant to be)

Returns:

the array of header fields, or null if EOF is encountered

Throws:

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

getLineNumber

public int getLineNumber()

Gets the current position in the file. The first line of the file is line number 1.

Specified by:

getLineNumber in interface ICsvReader

getUntokenizedRow

public java.lang.String getUntokenizedRow()

Returns the untokenized CSV row that was just read (which can potentially span multiple lines in the file).

Specified by:

getUntokenizedRow in interface ICsvReader

Returns:

the untokenized CSV row that was just read

getRowNumber

public int getRowNumber()

Gets the current row number (i.e. the number of CSV records - including the header - that have been read). This differs from the lineNumber, which is the number of real lines that have been read in the file. The first row is row 1 (which is typically the header row).

Specified by:

getRowNumber in interface ICsvReader

length

public int length()

Returns the length (i.e. number of columns) of the current row.

Specified by:

length in interface ICsvReader
