LineContainsRegExp (Apache Ant API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.tools.ant.filters, class: LineContainsRegExp

Package org.apache.tools.ant.filters

# 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:
  `Closeable`, `AutoCloseable`, `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​(Reader in)
    Creates a new filtered reader.
    Parameters:
      `in` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### read

    public int read() throws 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 `FilterReader`
    Returns:
      the next character in the resulting stream, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached
    Throws:
      `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 Reader chain​(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 casesensitively.
    Parameters:
      `b` - boolean
    Since:
      Ant 1.8.2

  - ### isNegated

    public boolean isNegated()
    Find out whether we have been negated.
    Returns:
      boolean negation flag.

  - ### setRegexp

    public void setRegexp​(String pattern)
    Set the regular expression as an attribute.
    Parameters:
      `pattern` - String
