net.sf.saxon.value.StringValue.CharacterIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

SequenceIterator, UnfailingIterator

Enclosing class:

StringValue

public static final class StringValue.CharacterIterator
extends java.lang.Object
implements UnfailingIterator

CharacterIterator is used to iterate over the characters in a string, returning them as integers representing the Unicode code-point.

Constructor Detail

CharacterIterator

public CharacterIterator(java.lang.CharSequence value)

Create an iterator over a string

Method Detail

next

public Int64Value next()

Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator

Get the next item in the sequence.

Specified by:

next in interface SequenceIterator

Specified by:

next in interface UnfailingIterator

Returns:

the next Item. If there are no more items, return null.

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator

Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.

(Currently, closing an iterator is important only when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.)

Specified by:

close in interface SequenceIterator

getProperties

public int getProperties()

Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.

Specified by:

getProperties in interface SequenceIterator

Returns:

the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as SequenceIterator.GROUNDED and SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties.
