bool ts::TextParser::saveStream ( std::ostream & strm )

Save the document to parse to a text stream.

Parameters

[in,out] strm A standard text stream in output mode.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ eof()

bool ts::TextParser::eof ( ) const

Check end of file.

Returns: True if the parser reached the end of file.

◆ eol()

bool ts::TextParser::eol ( ) const

Check end of line.

Returns: True if the parser reached the end of line.

◆ position()

Position ts::TextParser::position ( ) const

inline

Save the position in the document.

Returns: The current position in the document.

◆ seek()

bool ts::TextParser::seek ( const Position & pos )

Restore a previous position in the document.

Parameters

[in] pos Previous position to restore.

Returns: True on success, false on error.

◆ isAtPosition()

bool ts::TextParser::isAtPosition ( const Position & pos ) const

Check if we are at the specified position in the document.

Parameters

Returns: True if still at this position.

◆ lineNumber()

size_t ts::TextParser::lineNumber ( ) const

inline

Get the current line number.

Returns: The current line number.

◆ skipWhiteSpace()

bool ts::TextParser::skipWhiteSpace ( )

Skip all whitespaces, including end of lines.

Note that the optional BOM at start of an UTF-8 file has already been removed by the UTF-16 conversion.

Returns: Always true.

◆ skipLine()

bool ts::TextParser::skipLine ( )

Skip to next line.

Returns: Always true.

◆ match()

bool ts::TextParser::match	(	const UString &	str,
		bool	skipIfMatch,
		CaseSensitivity	cs = `CASE_SENSITIVE`
	)

Check if the current position in the document matches a string.

Parameters

[in]	str	A string to check at the current position in the document.
[in]	skipIfMatch	If true and str matches the current position, skip it in the document.
[in]	cs	Case sensitivity of the comparision.

		bool	allowHexa = `false`,
		bool	allowFloat = `true`
	)

virtual

Parse a numeric literal.

Parameters

[out]	str	Returned numeric literal
[in]	allowHexa	If true, hexadecimal integers "0x..." are allowed.
[in]	allowFloat	It true, floating point values "[-]digits[.digits][e\|E[+\|-]digits]" are allowed.

Returns: True on success, false if no string literal was not found.

◆ parseStringLiteral()

virtual bool ts::TextParser::parseStringLiteral	(	UString &	str,
		UChar	requiredQuote = `CHAR_NULL`
	)

virtual

Parse a string literal.

A string literal is enclosed in simple or double quotes. Any similar quotation mark is considered part of the string when it is preceded by a backslash character.

Parameters

[out]	str	Returned string literal, including the first and last quote. When the method returns true (success), it is consequently guaranteed that the length of the returned string is greater than or equal to 2.
[in]	requiredQuote	If defined as single or double quote, accept only that type of quote. Otherwise, accept any of the two.

Returns: True on success, false if no string literal was not found.
