public final class CanonicalIterator extends java.lang.Object
This class allows one to iterate through all the strings that are canonically equivalent to a given string. For example, here are some sample results: Results for: {A WITH RING ABOVE}{d}{DOT ABOVE}{CEDILLA}1: {A}{RING ABOVE}{d}{DOT ABOVE}{CEDILLA} 2: {A}{RING ABOVE}{d}{CEDILLA}{DOT ABOVE} 3: {A}{RING ABOVE}{d WITH DOT ABOVE}{CEDILLA} 4: {A}{RING ABOVE}{d WITH CEDILLA}{DOT ABOVE} 5: {A WITH RING ABOVE}{d}{DOT ABOVE}{CEDILLA} 6: {A WITH RING ABOVE}{d}{CEDILLA}{DOT ABOVE} 7: {A WITH RING ABOVE}{d WITH DOT ABOVE}{CEDILLA} 8: {A WITH RING ABOVE}{d WITH CEDILLA}{DOT ABOVE} 9: {ANGSTROM SIGN}{d}{DOT ABOVE}{CEDILLA} 10: {ANGSTROM SIGN}{d}{CEDILLA}{DOT ABOVE} 11: {ANGSTROM SIGN}{d WITH DOT ABOVE}{CEDILLA} 12: {ANGSTROM SIGN}{d WITH CEDILLA}{DOT ABOVE}
Note: the code is intended for use with small strings, and is not suitable for larger ones, since it has not been optimized for that situation.- Author:

Method Detail
-
getSource
public java.lang.String getSource()
Gets the NFD form of the current source we are iterating over.- Returns:
- gets the source: NOTE: it is the NFD form of the source originally passed in
-
reset
public void reset()
Resets the iterator so that one can start again from the beginning.
-
next
public java.lang.String next()
Get the next canonically equivalent string.
Warning: The strings are not guaranteed to be in any particular order.- Returns:
- the next string that is canonically equivalent. The value null is returned when the iteration is done.
-
setSource
public void setSource(java.lang.String newSource)
Set a new source for this iterator. Allows object reuse.- Parameters:
newSource
- the source string to iterate against. This allows the same iterator to be used while changing the source string, saving object creation.
-
permute
@Deprecated public static void permute(java.lang.String source, boolean skipZeros, java.util.Set<java.lang.String> output)
Deprecated.This API is ICU internal only.Simple implementation of permutation.
Warning: The strings are not guaranteed to be in any particular order.- Parameters:
source
- the string to find permutations forskipZeros
- set to true to skip characters with canonical combining class zerooutput
- the set to add the results to
