    • Constructor Detail

      • StringCharacterIterator

        public StringCharacterIterator(String text)
        Constructs an iterator with an initial index of 0.
        Parameters:
        text - the String to be iterated over

      • StringCharacterIterator

        public StringCharacterIterator(String text,
                               int pos)
        Constructs an iterator with the specified initial index.
        Parameters:
        text - The String to be iterated over
        pos - Initial iterator position

      • StringCharacterIterator

        public StringCharacterIterator(String text,
                               int begin,
                               int end,
                               int pos)
        Constructs an iterator over the given range of the given string, with the index set at the specified position.
        Parameters:
        text - The String to be iterated over
        begin - Index of the first character
        end - Index of the character following the last character
        pos - Initial iterator position

    • Method Detail

      • setText

        public void setText(String text)
        Reset this iterator to point to a new string. This package-visible method is used by other java.text classes that want to avoid allocating new StringCharacterIterator objects every time their setText method is called.
        Parameters:
        text - The String to be iterated over

      • first

        public char first()
        Implements CharacterIterator.first() for String.
        Specified by:
        first in interface  CharacterIterator
        Returns:
        the first character in the text, or DONE if the text is empty

      • last

        public char last()
        Implements CharacterIterator.last() for String.
        Specified by:
        last in interface  CharacterIterator

        Specified by:
        setIndex in interface  CharacterIterator
        Parameters:
        p - the position within the text. Valid values range from getBeginIndex() to getEndIndex(). An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if an invalid value is supplied.
        Returns:
        the character at the specified position or DONE if the specified position is equal to getEndIndex()
