public StringReader(String s)

Create a new string reader.

Method Detail

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Read a single character.

Returns:

The character read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

Overrides:

read in class Reader

read

public int read(char[] cbuf,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException

Read characters into a portion of an array.

Parameters:

cbuf - Destination buffer

off - Offset at which to start writing characters

len - Maximum number of characters to read

Returns:

The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

Overrides:

read in class Reader

skip

public long skip(long ns)
          throws IOException

Skip characters.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

Overrides:

skip in class Reader

ready

public boolean ready()
              throws IOException

Tell whether this stream is ready to be read.

Returns:

True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input

Throws:

IOException - If the stream is closed

Overrides:

ready in class Reader

markSupported

public boolean markSupported()

Tell whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does.

Overrides:

markSupported in class Reader

mark

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
          throws IOException

Mark the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will reposition the stream to this point.

Parameters:

readAheadLimit - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. Because the stream's input comes from a string, there is no actual limit, so this argument must not be negative, but is otherwise ignored.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If readAheadLimit is < 0

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

Overrides:

mark in class Reader

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException

Reset the stream to the most recent mark, or to the beginning of the string if it has never been marked.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

Overrides:

reset in class Reader

close

public void close()

Close the stream.

Overrides:

close in class Reader
