Class RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.sort.RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Comparator, SubstringMatcher

public class RuleBasedSubstringMatcher
extends java.lang.Object
implements SubstringMatcher

This class wraps a RuleBasedCollator to provide a SubstringMatcher. This users the facilities offered by the RuleBasedCollator to implement the XPath functions contains(), starts-with(), ends-with(), substring-before(), and substring-after().

Method Detail

comparesEqual

public boolean comparesEqual(java.lang.String s1,
                             java.lang.String s2)

Test whether one string is equal to another, according to the rules of the XPath compare() function. The result is true if and only if the compare() method returns zero: but the implementation may be more efficient than calling compare and testing the result for zero

Specified by:

comparesEqual in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the first string

s2 - the second string

Returns:

true iff s1 equals s2

contains

public boolean contains(java.lang.String s1,
                        java.lang.String s2)

Test whether one string contains another, according to the rules of the XPath contains() function

Specified by:

contains in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

true iff s1 contains s2

endsWith

public boolean endsWith(java.lang.String s1,
                        java.lang.String s2)

Test whether one string ends with another, according to the rules of the XPath ends-with() function

Specified by:

endsWith in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

true iff s1 ends with s2

startsWith

public boolean startsWith(java.lang.String s1,
                          java.lang.String s2)

Test whether one string starts with another, according to the rules of the XPath starts-with() function

Specified by:

startsWith in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

true iff s1 starts with s2

substringAfter

public java.lang.String substringAfter(java.lang.String s1,
                                       java.lang.String s2)

Return the part of a string after a given substring, according to the rules of the XPath substring-after() function

Specified by:

substringAfter in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

the part of s1 that follows the first occurrence of s2

substringBefore

public java.lang.String substringBefore(java.lang.String s1,
                                        java.lang.String s2)

Return the part of a string before a given substring, according to the rules of the XPath substring-before() function

Specified by:

substringBefore in interface SubstringMatcher

Parameters:

s1 - the containing string

s2 - the contained string

Returns:

the part of s1 that precedes the first occurrence of s2

compare

public int compare(java.lang.Object o1,
                   java.lang.Object o2)

Compares its two arguments for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

The implementor must ensure that sgn(compare(x, y)) == -sgn(compare(y, x)) for all x and y. (This implies that compare(x, y) must throw an exception if and only if compare(y, x) throws an exception.)

The implementor must also ensure that the relation is transitive: ((compare(x, y)>0) && (compare(y, z)>0)) implies compare(x, z)>0.

Finally, the implementer must ensure that compare(x, y)==0 implies that sgn(compare(x, z))==sgn(compare(y, z)) for all z.

It is generally the case, but not strictly required that (compare(x, y)==0) == (x.equals(y)). Generally speaking, any comparator that violates this condition should clearly indicate this fact. The recommended language is "Note: this comparator imposes orderings that are inconsistent with equals."

Specified by:

compare in interface java.util.Comparator

Parameters:

o1 - the first object to be compared.

o2 - the second object to be compared.

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the first argument is less than, equal to, or greater than the second.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the arguments' types prevent them from being compared by this Comparator.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Test program to output the sequence of collation element iterators for a given input string
