## Class LineContainsRegExp

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.Reader
  - - java.io.FilterReader
    - - org.apache.tools.ant.filters.BaseFilterReader
      - - org.apache.tools.ant.filters.BaseParamFilterReader
        - - org.apache.tools.ant.filters.LineContainsRegExp

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.lang.Readable, ChainableReader, Parameterizable

      public final class LineContainsRegExp
      extends BaseParamFilterReader
      implements ChainableReader

  Filter which includes only those lines that contain the user-specified regular expression matching strings. Example:

      <linecontainsregexp>
         <regexp pattern="foo*">
       </linecontainsregexp>

  Or:

      <filterreader classname="org.apache.tools.ant.filters.LineContainsRegExp">
          <param type="regexp" value="foo*"/>
       </filterreader>

  This will fetch all those lines that contain the pattern `foo`

    - #### LineContainsRegExp

          public LineContainsRegExp(java.io.Reader in)

      Creates a new filtered reader.
      Parameters:
        `in` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### read

          public int read()
                   throws java.io.IOException

      Returns the next character in the filtered stream, only including lines from the original stream which match all of the specified regular expressions.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `java.io.FilterReader`
      Returns:
        the next character in the resulting stream, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if the underlying stream throws an IOException during reading

    - #### addConfiguredRegexp

          public void addConfiguredRegexp(RegularExpression regExp)

      Adds a `regexp` element.
      Parameters:
        `regExp` - The `regexp` element to add. Must not be `null`.

    - #### chain

          public java.io.Reader chain(java.io.Reader rdr)

      Creates a new LineContainsRegExp using the passed in Reader for instantiation.
      Specified by:
        `chain` in interface `ChainableReader`
      Parameters:
        `rdr` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.
      Returns:
        a new filter based on this configuration, but filtering the specified reader

    - #### setNegate

          public void setNegate(boolean b)

      Set the negation mode. Default false (no negation).
      Parameters:
        `b` - the boolean negation mode to set.

    - #### setCaseSensitive

          public void setCaseSensitive(boolean b)

      Whether to match casesensitevly.
