public interface Lexer

Lexers must implement these methods. These are used in the Tokenizer A Lexer should be tied to one document.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	parse(javax.swing.text.Segment segment, int ofst, java.util.List<Token> tokens) This is the only method a Lexer needs to implement.

Method Detail

parse

void parse(javax.swing.text.Segment segment,
           int ofst,
           java.util.List<Token> tokens)

This is the only method a Lexer needs to implement. It will be passed a Reader, and it should return non-overlapping Tokens for each recognized token in the stream.

Parameters:

segment - Text to parse.

ofst - offset to add to start of each token (useful for nesting)

tokens - List of Tokens to be added. This is done so that the caller creates the appropriate List implementation and size. The parse method just adds to the list
