Public Constructors

public StringCharacterIterator (String text)

Constructs an iterator with an initial index of 0.

public StringCharacterIterator (String text, int pos)

Constructs an iterator with the specified initial index.

Parameters
text The String to be iterated over
pos Initial iterator position

public StringCharacterIterator (String text, int begin, int end, int pos)

Constructs an iterator over the given range of the given string, with the index set at the specified position.

Parameters
text The String to be iterated over
begin Index of the first character
end Index of the character following the last character
pos Initial iterator position

Public Methods

public Object clone ()

Creates a copy of this iterator.

Returns
  • A copy of this

public char current ()

Implements CharacterIterator.current() for String.

Returns
  • the character at the current position or DONE if the current position is off the end of the text.
See Also

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares the equality of two StringCharacterIterator objects.

Parameters
obj the StringCharacterIterator object to be compared with.
Returns
  • true if the given obj is the same as this StringCharacterIterator object; false otherwise.

public char first ()

Implements CharacterIterator.first() for String.

Returns
  • the first character in the text, or DONE if the text is empty
See Also

public int getBeginIndex ()

Implements CharacterIterator.getBeginIndex() for String.

Returns
  • the index at which the text begins.
See Also

public int getEndIndex ()

Implements CharacterIterator.getEndIndex() for String.

Returns
  • the index after the last character in the text
See Also

public int getIndex ()

Implements CharacterIterator.getIndex() for String.

Returns
  • the current index.
See Also

public int hashCode ()

Computes a hashcode for this iterator.

Returns
  • A hash code

public char last ()

Implements CharacterIterator.last() for String.

Returns
  • the last character in the text, or DONE if the text is empty
See Also

public char next ()

Implements CharacterIterator.next() for String.

Returns
  • the character at the new position or DONE if the new position is off the end of the text range.
See Also

public char previous ()

Implements CharacterIterator.previous() for String.

Returns
  • the character at the new position or DONE if the current position is equal to getBeginIndex().
See Also

public char setIndex (int p)

Implements CharacterIterator.setIndex() for String.

Parameters
p the position within the text. Valid values range from getBeginIndex() to getEndIndex(). An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if an invalid value is supplied.
Returns
  • the character at the specified position or DONE if the specified position is equal to getEndIndex()
See Also

public void setText (String text)

Reset this iterator to point to a new string. This package-visible method is used by other java.text classes that want to avoid allocating new StringCharacterIterator objects every time their setText method is called.

Parameters
text The String to be iterated over
