Method Detail

processBytes

public java.lang.Object processBytes(byte[] pattern)

Returns a int array.

Specified by:

processBytes in class StringSearch

Parameters:

pattern - the byte array containing the pattern, may not be null

Returns:

an Object

See Also:

StringSearch.processBytes(byte[])

processChars

public java.lang.Object processChars(char[] pattern)

Returns a CharIntMap.

Specified by:

processChars in class StringSearch

Parameters:

pattern - a char array containing the pattern, may not be null

Returns:

an Object

See Also:

StringSearch.processChars(char[])

searchBytes

public int searchBytes(byte[] text,
                       int textStart,
                       int textEnd,
                       byte[] pattern,
                       java.lang.Object processed)

Description copied from class: StringSearch

Returns the position in the text at which the pattern was found. Returns -1 if the pattern was not found.

Specified by:

searchBytes in class StringSearch

Parameters:

text - text the byte array containing the text, may not be null

textStart - at which position in the text the comparing should start

textEnd - at which position in the text comparing should stop

pattern - the pattern to search for, may not be null

processed - an Object as returned from StringSearch.processBytes(byte[]), may not be null

Returns:

the position in the text or -1 if the pattern was not found

See Also:

StringSearch.searchBytes(byte[], int,int,byte[],java.lang.Object)

searchChars

public int searchChars(char[] text,
                       int textStart,
                       int textEnd,

                       java.lang.Object processed)

Description copied from class: StringSearch

Returns the index of the pattern in the text using the pre-processed Object. Returns -1 if the pattern was not found.

Specified by:

searchChars in class StringSearch

Parameters:

text - the String containing the text, may not be null

textStart - at which position in the text the comparing should start

textEnd - at which position in the text comparing should stop

pattern - the pattern to search for, may not be null

processed - an Object as returned from StringSearch.processChars(char[]) or StringSearch.processString(String), may not be null

Returns:

the position in the text or -1 if the pattern was not found
