Method Detail

values

public static StringUtil.TextType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (StringUtil.TextType c : StringUtil.TextType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static StringUtil.TextType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

acceptCharacter

public boolean acceptCharacter(char pChar)

Tests if this type does accept the given char.

This function is called on every char in a string.

Parameters:

pChar - the char to test.

Returns:

true if this type does accept the given char.

isStartCharacter

public boolean isStartCharacter(char pChar)

Tests if the given char is a valid start position for the type.

This function is only called as long as it does not return true. It is used to determine whether a valid start position for the type has been reached or not. As long as this function returns false acceptCharacter(char) will not be called. If it returns true acceptCharacter(char) will be called for every char but no longer this function.

Parameters:

pChar - the char to test.

Returns:

true if the given char is a valid start position.
