public class LineNumberReader
extends BufferedReader

A buffered character-input stream that keeps track of line numbers. This class defines methods void setLineNumber(int) and int getLineNumber() for setting and getting the current line number respectively.

By default, line numbering begins at 0. This number increments as data is read, and can be changed with a call to setLineNumber(int). Note however, that setLineNumber(int) does not actually change the current position in the stream; it only changes the value that will be returned by getLineNumber().

A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.

Constructor Detail

LineNumberReader

public LineNumberReader(Reader in)
Create a new line-numbering reader, using the default input-buffer size.

Parameters:
in - a Reader object to provide the underlying stream.

LineNumberReader

public LineNumberReader(Reader in,
                        int sz)
Create a new line-numbering reader, reading characters into a buffer of the given size.

Parameters:
in - a Reader object to provide the underlying stream.
sz - an int specifying the size of the buffer.
Method Detail

setLineNumber

public void setLineNumber(int lineNumber)
Set the current line number.

Parameters:
lineNumber - an int specifying the line number.
See Also:
getLineNumber()

getLineNumber

public int getLineNumber()
Get the current line number.

Returns:
The current line number.
See Also:
setLineNumber(int)

read

public int read()
         throws IOException
Read a single character. Line terminators are compressed into single newline ('\n') characters.

Overrides:
read in class BufferedReader
Returns:
The character read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

read

public int read(char[] cbuf,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException
Read characters into a portion of an array.

Overrides:
read in class BufferedReader
Parameters:
cbuf - Destination buffer
off - Offset at which to start storing characters
len - Maximum number of characters to read
Returns:
The number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the stream has already been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

readLine

public String readLine()
                throws IOException
Read a line of text. A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.

Overrides:
readLine in class BufferedReader
Returns:
A String containing the contents of the line, not including any line-termination characters, or null if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

skip

public long skip(long n)
          throws IOException
Skip characters.

Overrides:
skip in class BufferedReader
Parameters:
n - The number of characters to skip
Returns:
The number of characters actually skipped
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

mark

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
          throws IOException
Mark the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will attempt to reposition the stream to this point, and will also reset the line number appropriately.

Overrides:
mark in class BufferedReader
Parameters:
readAheadLimit - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. After reading this many characters, attempting to reset the stream may fail.
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException
Reset the stream to the most recent mark.

Overrides:
reset in class BufferedReader
Throws:
IOException - If the stream has not been marked, or if the mark has been invalidated
