Constructor Detail

Tokenizer

public Tokenizer()
Method Detail

globalInfo

public abstract java.lang.String globalInfo()
Returns a string describing the stemmer

Returns:
a description suitable for displaying in the explorer/experimenter gui

listOptions

public java.util.Enumeration listOptions()
Returns an enumeration of all the available options..

Specified by:
listOptions in interface OptionHandler
Returns:
an enumeration of all available options.

getOptions

public java.lang.String[] getOptions()
Gets the current option settings for the OptionHandler.

Specified by:
getOptions in interface OptionHandler
Returns:
the list of current option settings as an array of strings

setOptions

public void setOptions(java.lang.String[] options)
                throws java.lang.Exception
Sets the OptionHandler's options using the given list. All options will be set (or reset) during this call (i.e. incremental setting of options is not possible).

Specified by:
setOptions in interface OptionHandler
Parameters:
options - the list of options as an array of strings
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if an option is not supported

hasMoreElements

public abstract boolean hasMoreElements()
Tests if this enumeration contains more elements.

Specified by:
hasMoreElements in interface java.util.Enumeration
Returns:
true if and only if this enumeration object contains at least one more element to provide; false otherwise.

nextElement

public abstract java.lang.Object nextElement()
Returns the next element of this enumeration if this enumeration object has at least one more element to provide.

Specified by:
nextElement in interface java.util.Enumeration
Returns:
the next element of this enumeration.

tokenize

public abstract void tokenize(java.lang.String s)
Sets the string to tokenize. Tokenization happens immediately.

Parameters:
s - the string to tokenize

tokenize

public static java.lang.String[] tokenize(Tokenizer tokenizer,
                                          java.lang.String[] options)
                                   throws java.lang.Exception
initializes the given tokenizer with the given options and runs the tokenizer over all the remaining strings in the options array. If no strings remained in the option string then data is read from stdin, line by line.

Parameters:
tokenizer - the tokenizer to use
options - the options for the tokenizer
Returns:
the tokenized strings
Throws:
java.lang.Exception - if setting of options or tokenization fails

runTokenizer

public static void runTokenizer(Tokenizer tokenizer,
                                java.lang.String[] options)
initializes the given tokenizer with the given options and runs the tokenizer over all the remaining strings in the options array. The generated tokens are then printed to stdout. If no strings remained in the option string then data is read from stdin, line by line.

Parameters:
tokenizer - the tokenizer to use
options - the options for the tokenizer
