  • Constructor Details

    • MultiLineRule

      public MultiLineRule(String startSequence, String endSequence, IToken token)
      Creates a rule for the given starting and ending sequence which, if detected, will return the specified token.
      Parameters:
      startSequence - the pattern's start sequence
      endSequence - the pattern's end sequence
      token - the token to be returned on success
    • MultiLineRule

      public MultiLineRule(String startSequence, String endSequence, IToken token, char escapeCharacter)
      Creates a rule for the given starting and ending sequence which, if detected, will return the specific token. Any character which follows the given escape character will be ignored.
      Parameters:
      startSequence - the pattern's start sequence
      endSequence - the pattern's end sequence
      token - the token to be returned on success
      escapeCharacter - the escape character
    • MultiLineRule

      public MultiLineRule(String startSequence, String endSequence, IToken token, char escapeCharacter, boolean breaksOnEOF)
      Creates a rule for the given starting and ending sequence which, if detected, will return the specific token. Any character that follows the given escape character will be ignored. breakOnEOF indicates whether EOF is equivalent to detecting the endSequence.
      Parameters:
      startSequence - the pattern's start sequence
      endSequence - the pattern's end sequence
      token - the token to be returned on success
      escapeCharacter - the escape character
      breaksOnEOF - indicates whether the end of the file terminates this rule successfully
