Method Details
-
andThen
Returns a matcher that matches this matcher followed by the given matcher.- Parameters:
stringMatcher- the next matcher.- Returns:
- a matcher that matches this matcher followed by the given matcher.
- Since:
- 1.9
-
isMatch
Returns the number of matching characters, zero for no match.This method is called to check for a match. The parameter
posrepresents the current position to be checked in the stringbuffer(a character array which must not be changed). The API guarantees thatposis a valid index forbuffer.The matching code may check one character or many. It may check characters preceding
posas well as those after.It must return zero for no match, or a positive number if a match was found. The number indicates the number of characters that matched.
- Parameters:
buffer- the text content to match against, do not changepos- the starting position for the match, valid for buffer- Returns:
- The number of matching characters, zero for no match
- Since:
- 1.9

isMatch
Returns the number of matching characters,0if there is no match.This method is called to check for a match against a source
buffer. The parameterstartrepresents the start position to be checked in thebuffer(a character array which MUST not be changed). The implementation SHOULD guarantees thatstartis a valid index inbuffer.The character array may be larger than the active area to be matched. Only values in the buffer between the specified indices may be accessed, in other words:
bufferStart <= start < bufferEnd.The matching code may check one character or many. It may check characters preceding
startas well as those after, so long as no checks exceed the bounds specified.It must return zero for no match, or a positive number if a match was found. The number indicates the number of characters that matched.
- Parameters:
buffer- the source text to search, do not change.start- the starting position for the match, valid inbuffer.bufferStart- the first active index in the buffer, valid inbuffer.bufferEnd- the end index (exclusive) of the active buffer, valid inbuffer.- Returns:
- The number of matching characters, zero if there is no match.
