firstLineNumber
Line number of first line in current (possibly continued) line
protected boolean
doContinue
True if handling continuations, false if not; false == "PRE" mode
Constructors Summary
public ContLineReader(Reader in)
Construct a ContLineReader with the default input-buffer size.
super(in);
public ContLineReader(Reader in, int sz)
Construct a ContLineReader using the given input-buffer size.
super(in, sz);
Methods Summary
public boolean isContinuation()
Get the continuation mode
return doContinue;
public boolean markSupported()
return false;
public int read()
Read a single character, returned as an int.
return super.read();
public int read(char[] cbuf, int off, int len)
Read characters into a portion of an array.
return super.read(cbuf, off, len);
public abstract java.lang.String readLine()
Read one (possibly continued) line, stripping out the \ that marks the end of each line but the last in a sequence.
public java.lang.String readPhysicalLine()
Read one real line. Provided as a convenience for the subclasses, so they don't embarass themselves trying to call "super.readLine()" which isn't very practical...
return super.readLine();
public void setContinuationMode(boolean b)
Set the continuation mode
doContinue = b;
