Class SQLLexer

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.Ostermiller.Syntax.Lexer.SQLLexer
All Implemented Interfaces:
Lexer

public class SQLLexer
extends Object
implements Lexer

SQLLexer is a SQL language lexer. Created with JFlex. An example of how it is used:

  SQLLexer shredder = new SQLLexer(System.in);
  SQLToken t;
  while ((t = shredder.getNextToken()) != null){
      System.out.println(t);
  }

Constructor Detail

SQLLexer

public SQLLexer(Reader in)
Creates a new scanner There is also a java.io.InputStream version of this constructor.

Parameters:
in - the java.io.Reader to read input from.

SQLLexer

public SQLLexer(InputStream in)
Creates a new scanner. There is also java.io.Reader version of this constructor.

Parameters:
in - the java.io.Inputstream to read input from.
Method Detail

getNextToken

public Token getNextToken(boolean returnComments,
                          boolean returnWhiteSpace)
                   throws IOException
next Token method that allows you to control if whitespace and comments are returned as tokens.

Throws:
IOException

main

public static void main(String[] args)
Prints out tokens from a file or System.in. If no arguments are given, System.in will be used for input. If more arguments are given, the first argument will be used as the name of the file to use as input

Parameters:
args - program arguments, of which the first is a filename

reset

public void reset(Reader reader,
                  int yyline,
                  int yychar,
                  int yycolumn)
           throws IOException
Closes the current input stream, and resets the scanner to read from a new input stream. All internal variables are reset, the old input stream cannot be reused (content of the internal buffer is discarded and lost). The lexical state is set to the initial state. Subsequent tokens read from the lexer will start with the line, char, and column values given here.

Specified by:
reset in interface Lexer
Parameters:
reader - The new input.
yyline - The line number of the first token.
yychar - The position (relative to the start of the stream) of the first token.
yycolumn - The position (relative to the line) of the first token.
Throws:
IOException - if an IOExecption occurs while switching readers.

yyclose

public final void yyclose()
                   throws IOException
Closes the input stream.

Throws:
IOException

yyreset

public final void yyreset(Reader reader)
Resets the scanner to read from a new input stream. Does not close the old reader. All internal variables are reset, the old input stream cannot be reused (internal buffer is discarded and lost). Lexical state is set to ZZ_INITIAL.

Parameters:
reader - the new input stream

yystate

public final int yystate()
Returns the current lexical state.


yybegin

public final void yybegin(int newState)
Enters a new lexical state

Parameters:
newState - the new lexical state

yytext

public final String yytext()
Returns the text matched by the current regular expression.


yycharat

public final char yycharat(int pos)
Returns the character at position pos from the matched text. It is equivalent to yytext().charAt(pos), but faster

Parameters:
pos - the position of the character to fetch. A value from 0 to yylength()-1.
Returns:
the character at position pos

yylength

public final int yylength()
Returns the length of the matched text region.


yypushback

public void yypushback(int number)
Pushes the specified amount of characters back into the input stream. They will be read again by then next call of the scanning method

Parameters:
number - the number of characters to be read again. This number must not be greater than yylength()!

getNextToken

public Token getNextToken()
                   throws IOException
Resumes scanning until the next regular expression is matched, the end of input is encountered or an I/O-Error occurs.

Specified by:
getNextToken in interface Lexer
Returns:
the next token
Throws:
IOException - if any I/O-Error occurs
