Constructor Detail

SimpleSLTokenizer

public SimpleSLTokenizer(String s)

Construct a SimpleSLTokenizer that will act on the given String

Method Detail

nextToken

public String nextToken()
                 throws Codec.CodecException

Return the next SL token (i.e. '(', ')' or a generic element) without advancing the pointer

Throws:

Codec.CodecException

isOpenBracket

public boolean isOpenBracket()
                      throws Codec.CodecException

Throws:

Codec.CodecException

isClosedBracket

public boolean isClosedBracket()
                        throws Codec.CodecException

Throws:

Codec.CodecException

consumeChar

public void consumeChar(char c)
                 throws Codec.CodecException

Check that the next character (after eventual spaces) is 'c' and advance the pointer to the character just after

Throws:

Codec.CodecException

getElement

public String getElement()
                  throws Codec.CodecException

Return the next SL element (i.e. a word or a generic sequence of char enclosed into "") and advance the pointer to the character just after. If the element starts with ':' this is automatically removed. If the element is a sequence of char enclosed into "" the enclosing " are removed and all \" are automatically transformed into "

Throws:

Codec.CodecException

isAWord

public static final boolean isAWord(String s)

Test if the given string is a legal SL word using the FIPA XC00008D spec. In addition to FIPA's restrictions, place the additional restriction that a Word can not contain a '\"', that would confuse the parser at the other end.

quoteString

public static String quoteString(String s)

Take a java String and quote it to form a legal FIPA SL0 string. Add quotation marks to the beginning/end and escape any quotation marks inside the string.
