Class RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.sort.RuleBasedSubstringMatcher
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, StringCollator, SubstringMatcher

public class RuleBasedSubstringMatcher extends Object implements SubstringMatcher
This class wraps a RuleBasedCollator to provide a SubstringMatcher. This users the facilities offered by the RuleBasedCollator to implement the XPath functions contains(), starts-with(), ends-with(), substring-before(), and substring-after().

    • RuleBasedSubstringMatcher

      public RuleBasedSubstringMatcher(RuleBasedCollator collator)
      Create a RuleBasedSubstringMatcher
      Parameters:
      collator - the collation to be used
  • Method Details

    • comparesEqual

      public boolean comparesEqual(String s1, String s2)
      Test whether one string is equal to another, according to the rules of the XPath compare() function. The result is true if and only if the compare() method returns zero: but the implementation may be more efficient than calling compare and testing the result for zero
      Specified by:
      comparesEqual in interface SubstringMatcher
      Parameters:
      s1 - the first string
      s2 - the second string
      Returns:
      true iff s1 equals s2
    • contains

      public boolean contains(String s1, String s2)
      Test whether one string contains another, according to the rules of the XPath contains() function
      Specified by:
      contains in interface SubstringMatcher
      Parameters:
      s1 - the containing string
      s2 - the contained string
      Returns:
      true iff s1 contains s2
    • endsWith

      public boolean endsWith(String s1, String s2)
      Test whether one string ends with another, according to the rules of the XPath ends-with() function
      Specified by:
      endsWith in interface SubstringMatcher
      Parameters:
      s1 - the containing string
      s2 - the contained string
      Returns:
      true iff s1 ends with s2
    • startsWith

      public boolean startsWith(String s1, String s2)
      Test whether one string starts with another, according to the rules of the XPath starts-with() function
      Specified by:
      startsWith in interface SubstringMatcher
      Parameters:
      s1 - the containing string
      s2 - the contained string
      Returns:
      true iff s1 starts with s2
    • substringAfter

      public String substringAfter(String s1, String s2)
      Return the part of a string after a given substring, according to the rules of the XPath substring-after() function
      Specified by:
      substringAfter in interface SubstringMatcher
      Parameters:
      s1 - the containing string
      s2 - the contained string
      Returns:
      the part of s1 that follows the first occurrence of s2
    • substringBefore

      public String substringBefore(String s1, String s2)
      Return the part of a string before a given substring, according to the rules of the XPath substring-before() function
      Specified by:
      substringBefore in interface SubstringMatcher
      Parameters:
      s1 - the containing string
      s2 - the contained string
      Returns:
      the part of s1 that precedes the first occurrence of s2
    • compareStrings

      public int compareStrings(String o1, String o2)
      Compare two strings
      Specified by:
      compareStrings in interface StringCollator
      Parameters:
      o1 - the first string
      o2 - the second string
      Returns:
      0 if the strings are considered equal, a negative integer if the first string is less than the second, a positive integer if the first string is greater than the second
    • getCollationKey

      public Object getCollationKey(String s)
      Get a collation key for two Strings. The essential property of collation keys is that if two values are equal under the collation, then the collation keys are compare correctly under the equals() method.
      Specified by:
      getCollationKey in interface StringCollator
      Parameters:
      s - the string whose collation key is required
      Returns:
      the collation key
    • main

      public static void main(String[] args)
      Test program to output the sequence of collation element iterators for a given input string
      Parameters:
      args - command line arguments (collationURI, test-string)
