Constructor Detail

AnchorDelimiterCharsTokenValueExtractor

public AnchorDelimiterCharsTokenValueExtractor(java.lang.String content,
                                               java.lang.String anchorPattern,
                                               java.lang.String delimiterChars)

Create a new instance.

Parameters:

content - the content from which the values are extracted

anchorPattern - the anchor pattern

delimiterChars - a set of delimiter chars which enfold the tokens (=values)

Method Detail

setSearchPerLine

public void setSearchPerLine(boolean searchPerLine)

Set if the values are searched per line (default: true).
Hint: In case you expect that the extracted values contain line break and/or carriage return chars then you should set this option to false.

Parameters:

searchPerLine - true = the values are searched per line, false = the values are searched over multiple lines

setSearchReverse

public void setSearchReverse(boolean searchReverse)

Set if the extract algorithm works in reverse order (default: false). Reverse order means:

1. Find first an anchor pattern in the content, by searching from the end to the start of the content.
2. Get all values from the anchor pattern to the start of the content.

Parameters:

searchReverse - true = the extract algorithm works in reverse order

setTrimExtractedValues

public void setTrimExtractedValues(boolean trimExtractedValues)

Set if leading and trailing whitespace are removed from the extracted values (default = false).

Parameters:

trimExtractedValues - true = trailing whitespace are removed from the extracted values

getExtractedValues

public java.lang.String[] getExtractedValues()

Get an array of the extracted values.

Returns:

an array of the extracted values, or null if the anchor pattern was not found in the content
