Constructor Detail

BufferedPeriodicReader

public BufferedPeriodicReader(java.lang.String newFilename)
Create a BufferedPeriodicReader for the specified file.

Parameters:
newFilename - - name of the file to read.

BufferedPeriodicReader

public BufferedPeriodicReader(java.lang.String newFilename,
                              java.lang.String converter)
Create a BufferedPeriodicReader for the specified file and using the specified converter command.

Parameters:
newFilename - - name of the file to read.
converter - - command to do any required conversion on the file before reading it.

BufferedPeriodicReader

public BufferedPeriodicReader(java.lang.String newFilename,
                              java.lang.String converter,
                              java.lang.String shell)
Create a BufferedPeriodicReader for the specified file and using the specified converter command and shell to run the converter command in.

Parameters:
newFilename - - name of the file to read.
converter - - command to do any required conversion on the file before reading it.
shell - - shell to run the converter command in.

BufferedPeriodicReader

public BufferedPeriodicReader(java.lang.String newFilename,
                              java.lang.String[] convArray)
Create a BufferedPeriodicReader for the specified file and using the specified converter command stored as an array of tokens.

Parameters:
newFilename - - name of the file to read.
convArray - - command stored as an array to do any required conversion on the file before reading it.
Method Detail

setCharset

public void setCharset(java.lang.String cs)
Set the character set of file to read. The character set is used to ready bytes from the file.

Parameters:
cs - - character set of the file

prepare

public void prepare()
             throws java.lang.Exception
Prepare the file for reading. This includes running any converter command and finding the place in the file to start reading from.

Throws:
java.lang.Exception

close

public void close()
Close the file.


readLine

public java.lang.String readLine()
                          throws java.io.IOException
Read a line of the file and return it. If the end of file is reached, then save the last n bytes of the file when n is the confidence buffer size. The confidence buffer is used the next time the file is prepared to determine if the file has been changed or appended.

Returns:
the line read from the file.
Throws:
java.io.IOException

getFilePointer

public long getFilePointer()
Get the offset within the file where the next read will be done.

Returns:
Returns the offset within the file where we are currently reading.

getConfidenceBufferSize

public int getConfidenceBufferSize()
Get the confidence buffer size. The confidence buffer is used when the file is prepared to determine if the file has been changed or appended.

Returns:
the confidence buffer size.

setConfidenceBufferSize

public void setConfidenceBufferSize(int confidenceBufferSize)
Set the confidence buffer size. The confidence buffer is used when the file is prepared to determine if the file has been changed or appended.

Parameters:
confidenceBufferSize - - the confidence buffer size to set.

getFileFooterSize

public int getFileFooterSize()
Get the file footer size. The file footer is the last part of the file that contains mostly static data and does not need to be included when parsing. Note, not all files have footers. The footer needs to be accounted for when determinig if the file has been appended.

Returns:
the file footer size.

setFileFooterSize

public void setFileFooterSize(int fileFooterSize)
Set the file footer size. The file footer is the last part of the file that contains mostly static data and does not need to be included when parsing. Note, not all files have footers. The footer needs to be accounted for when determinig if the file has been appended.

Parameters:
fileFooterSize - The fileFooterSize to set.

isMultiFile

public boolean isMultiFile()
Returns whether a multi-file log is being read.

Returns:
true if a multi-file log is being read, false otherwise.

setMultiFile

public void setMultiFile(boolean multiFile)
Set the multi-file indicator

Parameters:
multiFile - - boolean value indicating whether the log is mult-file.

getConverterArray

public java.lang.String[] getConverterArray()
Get the converter command array. The command can be stored as an array of tokens.

Returns:
the converter command array.

setConverter

public void setConverter(java.lang.String[] converterArray)
Set the converter command array. The command can be stored either as an array of tokens or a string. This method stores it as an array.

Parameters:
converterArray - - the converter command array to set.

setFilename

public void setFilename(java.lang.String filename)
Set the name of the file to read.

Parameters:
filename - - the name of the file to read.

setConverter

public void setConverter(java.lang.String converter)
Set the converter command string. The command can be stored either as an array of tokens or a string. This method stores it as a string.

Parameters:
converter - The converter to set.

getSize

public long getSize()
Returns the size of the file being read

Returns:
the size of the file the last time it was read.
