LineNumberReader

extends BufferedReader
java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.io.Reader
     ↳ java.io.BufferedReader
       ↳ java.io.LineNumberReader

Class Overview

Wraps an existing Reader and counts the line terminators encountered while reading the data. The line number starts at 0 and is incremented any time '\r', '\n' or "\r\n" is read. The class has an internal buffer for its data. The size of the buffer defaults to 8 KB.

Public Constructors

public LineNumberReader (Reader in)

Added in API level 1

Constructs a new LineNumberReader on the Reader in. The internal buffer gets the default size (8 KB).

Parameters
in the Reader that is buffered.

public LineNumberReader (Reader in, int size)

Added in API level 1

Constructs a new LineNumberReader on the Reader in. The size of the internal buffer is specified by the parameter size.

Parameters
in the Reader that is buffered.
size the size of the buffer to allocate.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if size <= 0.

Public Methods

public int getLineNumber ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the current line number for this reader. Numbering starts at 0.

Returns
  • the current line number.

public void mark (int readlimit)

Added in API level 1

Sets a mark position in this reader. The parameter readlimit indicates how many characters can be read before the mark is invalidated. Sending reset() will reposition this reader back to the marked position, provided that readlimit has not been surpassed. The line number associated with this marked position is also stored so that it can be restored when reset() is called.

Parameters
readlimit the number of characters that can be read from this stream before the mark is invalidated.
Throws
IOException if an error occurs while setting the mark in this reader.

public int read ()

Added in API level 1

Reads a single character from the source reader and returns it as an integer with the two higher-order bytes set to 0. Returns -1 if the end of the source reader has been reached.

The line number count is incremented if a line terminator is encountered. Recognized line terminator sequences are '\r', '\n' and "\r\n". Line terminator sequences are always translated into '\n'.

Returns
  • the character read or -1 if the end of the source reader has been reached.
Throws
IOException if the reader is closed or another IOException occurs.

public int read (char[] buffer, int offset, int count)

Added in API level 1

Reads up to count characters from the source reader and stores them in the character array buffer starting at offset. Returns the number of characters actually read or -1 if no characters have been read and the end of this reader has been reached.

The line number count is incremented if a line terminator is encountered. Recognized line terminator sequences are '\r', '\n' and "\r\n".

Throws
IOException if this reader is closed or another IOException occurs.

public String readLine ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the next line of text available from this reader. A line is represented by 0 or more characters followed by '\r', '\n', "\r\n" or the end of the stream. The returned string does not include the newline sequence.

Returns
  • the contents of the line or null if no characters have been read before the end of the stream has been reached.
Throws
IOException if this reader is closed or another IOException occurs.

public void reset ()

Added in API level 1

Resets this reader to the last marked location. It also resets the line count to what is was when this reader was marked. This implementation resets the source reader.

Throws
IOException if this reader is already closed, no mark has been set or the mark is no longer valid because more than readlimit bytes have been read since setting the mark.

public void setLineNumber (int lineNumber)

Added in API level 1

Sets the line number of this reader to the specified lineNumber. Note that this may have side effects on the line number associated with the last marked position.

Parameters
lineNumber the new line number value.

public long skip (long charCount)

Added in API level 1

Skips charCount characters in this reader. Subsequent calls to read will not return these characters unless reset is used. This implementation skips charCount number of characters in the source reader and increments the line number count whenever line terminator sequences are skipped.

Returns
  • the number of characters actually skipped.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if charCount < 0.
IOException if this reader is closed or another IOException occurs.
