Class SimpleTokenizer

java.lang.Object
  com.wcohen.ss.tokens.SimpleTokenizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Tokenizer

public class SimpleTokenizer
extends java.lang.Object
implements Tokenizer

Simple implementation of a Tokenizer. Tokens are sequences of alphanumerics, optionally including single punctuation characters.

Field Summary

static SimpleTokenizer

DEFAULT_TOKENIZER

Constructor Summary

SimpleTokenizer(boolean ignorePunctuation, boolean ignoreCase)

Method Summary

Token	intern(java.lang.String s) Convert a given string into a token.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] argv) Test routine
int	maxTokenIndex() Return the higest index of any interned token
void	setIgnoreCase(boolean flag)
void	setIgnorePunctuation(boolean flag)
java.util.Iterator<Token>	tokenIterator() Return an iterator over interned tokens
Token[]	tokenize(java.lang.String input) Return tokenized version of a string.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

tokenize

public Token[] tokenize(java.lang.String input)

Return tokenized version of a string. Tokens are sequences of alphanumerics, or any single punctuation character.

Specified by:

tokenize in interface Tokenizer

intern

public Token intern(java.lang.String s)

Description copied from interface: Tokenizer

Convert a given string into a token. The intern function should have these properties: (1) If s1.equals(s2), then intern(s1)==intern(s2). (2) If no string equal to s1 has ever been interned before, then intern(s1).getIndex() will be larger than every previously-assigned index--i.e, token 'indexes' are assigned in increasing order.

Specified by:

intern in interface Tokenizer

tokenIterator

public java.util.Iterator<Token> tokenIterator()

Description copied from interface: Tokenizer

Return an iterator over interned tokens

Specified by:

tokenIterator in interface Tokenizer

maxTokenIndex

public int maxTokenIndex()

Description copied from interface: Tokenizer

Return the higest index of any interned token

Specified by:

maxTokenIndex in interface Tokenizer

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)
