ReaderTokenizer (Artisynth API documentation)

```
public class ReaderTokenizer
extends java.lang.Object
```
A tokenizer class that implements the same functionality as java.io.StreamTokenizer, but with enhancements which allow it to read numbers with exponents, read integers formatted in hex, and save and restore settings.
The tokenizer reads characters from a Reader, removes comments and whitespace, and parses the remainder into tokens. One token is parsed for each call to nextToken. The following tokens may be generated:

numbers
A floating point number, or decimal or hexadecimal integer. Number recognition is enabled by default but can be enabled or disabled using parseNumbers.
word identifiers
A continuous sequence of word characters not beginning with a digit. By default, word characters consist of alphanumerics, underscores (_), and any character whose unicode value exceeds 0xA0. Other characters can be designated as word characters using wordChar or its sibling methods.
strings
Any sequence of characters between a pair of identical quote characters. By default, ' and " are enabled as quote characters. Other characters can be designated as quote characters using quoteChar. Strings include the usual C-style escape sequences beginning with backslash (\). Setting backslash to a quote character is likely to produce strange result.
character token
Any character not parsed into one of the above tokens; such characters correspond to ordinary characters. A character can be designated as ordinary using ordinaryChar or its sibling methods. The method resetSyntax sets all characters to be ordinary.
end of line
An end of line. By default. recognition of this token is disabled, but can be enabled or disabled using eolIsSignificant.
end of file
End of input from the reader.
Three comment styles are supported:
- C-style (/**/) comments, enabled or disabled using slashStarComments
- C++-style (//) comments, enabled or disabled using slashSlashComments
- Character comments, using specific comment characters designated by commentChar.
By default, # is designated as a comment character and C/C++ comments are disabled.
By default, whitespace consists of any character with an ascii value from 0x00 to 0x20. This includes new lines, carriage returns, and spaces. Other characters can be designated as whitespace using whitespaceChar and its sibling routines.
Basic Usage
The basic usage paradigm for ReaderTokenizer is:
- Read a token
- Interpret this token and act accordingly
- Read another token ...
We first give a simple example that reads in pairs of words and numbers, such as following:
```
     foo 1.67
     dayton 678
     thadius 1e-4
 
```
This can be parsed with the following code:
```
 HashMap<String,Double> wordNumberPairs = new HashMap<String,Double>();
 ReaderTokenizer rtok = new ReaderTokenizer (new FileReader ("foo.txt"));
 while (rtok.nextToken() != ReaderTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
    if (rtok.ttype != ReaderTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
       throw new IOException ("word expected, line " + rtok.lineno());
    }
    String word = rtok.sval;
    if (rtok.nextToken() != ReaderTokenizer.TT_NUMBER) {
       throw new IOException ("number expected, line " + rtok.lineno());
    }
    Double number = new Double (rtok.nval);
    wordNumberPairs.put (word, number);
 }
 
```
The application uses nextToken to continuously read tokens until the end of the file. Once a token is read, its type is inspected using the ttype field. If the type is inappropriate, then an exception is thrown, along with the tokenizer's current line number which is obtained using lineno. The numeric value for a number token is stored in the field nval, while the string value for a word token is stored in the field sval.
We now give a more complex example that expects input to consist of either vectors of numbers, or file names, as indicated by the keywords vector and file. Keywords should be followed by an equal sign (=), vectors can be any length but should be surrounded by square brackets ([ ]), and file names should be enclosed in double quotes ("), as in the following sample:
```
     vector=[ 0.4 0.4 6.7 ]
     file="bar.txt"
     vector = [ 1.3 0.4 6.7 1.2 ]
 
```
This can be parsed with the following code:
```
 ReaderTokenizer rtok = new ReaderTokenizer (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
 ArrayList<Double> vector = new ArrayList<Double>();
 String fileName = null;
 while (rtok.nextToken() != ReaderTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
    if (rtok.ttype != ReaderTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
       throw new IOException ("keyword expected, line " + rtok.lineno());
    }
    String keyword = rtok.sval;
    if (keyword.equals ("vector")) {
       rtok.scanToken ('=');
       rtok.scanToken ('[');
       vector.clear();
       while (rtok.nextToken() == ReaderTokenizer.TT_NUMBER) {
          vector.add (rtok.nval);
       }
       if (rtok.ttype != ']') {
          throw new IOException ("']' expected, line " + rtok.lineno());
       }
       // do something with vector ...
    }
    else if (keyword.equals ("file")) {
       rtok.scanToken ('=');
       rtok.nextToken();
       if (!rtok.tokenIsQuotedString ('"')) {
          throw new IOException ("quoted string expected, line "
          + rtok.lineno());
       }
       fileName = rtok.sval;
       // do something with file ...
    }
    else {
       throw new IOException ("unrecognized keyword, line " + rtok.lineno());
    }
 }
 
```
This code is similar to the first example, except that it also uses the methods scanToken and tokenIsQuotedString. The first is a convenience routine that reads the next token and verifies that it's a specific type of ordinary character token (and throws a diagnostic exception if this is not the case). This facilitates compact code in cases where we know exactly what sort of input is expected. Similar methods exist for other token types, such as scanNumber, scanWord, or scanQuotedString. The second method, tokenIsQuotedString, verifies that the most recently read token is in fact a string delimited by a specific quote character. Similar methods exist to verify other token types: tokenIsNumber, tokenIsWord, or tokenIsBoolean.
Token Lookahead
ReaderTokenizer supports one token of lookahead. That is, the application may read a token, and then, if it is not recognized, return it to the input stream to be read by another part of the application. Tokens are returned using the method pushBack. Push back is implemented very efficiently, and so applications should not be shy about using it.
Here is an example consisting of a routine that reads in a set of numbers and stops when a non-numeric token is read:
```
 public Double[] readNumbers (ReaderTokenizer rtok) throws IOException {
    ArrayList<Double> numbers = new ArrayList<Double>();
    while (rtok.nextToken() == ReaderTokenizer.TT_NUMBER) {
       numbers.add (rtok.nval);
    }
    rtok.pushBack();
    return numbers.toArray (new Double[0]);
 }
 
```
The non-numeric token is returned to the input stream so that it is available to whatever parsing code is invoked next.
Reading Numbers
A major reason for implementing ReaderTokenizer is that java.io.StreamTokenizer does not properly handle long or integer values, or floating point numbers with exponents. ReaderTokenizer does handle these cases. In particular:
- Floating point exponents denoted by e or E are correctly handled;
- Numeric values which are also integers (i.e., do not contain a decimal point or exponent) are stored in the field lval as well as nval; this permits integer values to be stored exactly with no loss of precision;
- Hexadecimal integers can be specified by using the prefixes 0x or 0X.
One can use tokenIsInteger to query whether or not a numeric token corresponds to an integer value. Similarly, the convenience routines scanInteger, scanLong, and scanShort can be used to require that an integer value is scanned and converted to either int, long, or short. Another convenience routine, scanNumbers, can be used to read a sequence of numbers and place them in an array.
Saving and Restoring State
A deficiency of java.io.StreamTokenizer is that it does not permit its settings to be queried and set arbitrarily. This makes it impossible to transparently save and restore the tokenizer state in different contexts. For example, if a parsing routine requires a specific setting (say, accepting end-of-line as a token), then it has no way of knowing if it should undo this setting upon completion.
ReaderTokenizer allows of its state variables to be queried, so a that parsing routine can set and restore state transparently:
```
    void specialParsingRoutine (ReaderTokenizer rtok)
     {
       boolean eolTokenSave = rtok.getEolIsSignificant(); // save
       rtok.eolIsSignificant(true);
 
       ... do parsing that requires EOL tokens ...
 
       rtok.eolIsSignificant(eolTokenSave); // restore
     }
 
```
This includes the ability to save and restore the type settings for individual characters. In the following example, $, @, and & are set to word characters, and then restored to whatever their previous settings were:
```
 void anotherSpecialParsingRoutine (ReaderTokenizer rtok) {
    int[] charSaves = rtok.getCharSettings ("$@&");
    rtok.wordChars ("$@&");
    // do parsing that requires $, @, and & to be word characters
 
    rtok.setCharSettings ("$@&", typeSaves); // restore settings
 }
 
```

Digits and other characters found in numbers may be specified as word characters, but if numeric parsing is enabled, the formation of numbers will take precedence over the formation of words.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ch - character to be designated as a word character
    
    See Also:
    
    isWordChar(int), wordChars(int,int), wordChars(String)
  - wordChars
```

  - numericExtensionChar
```
public void numericExtensionChar(int ch)
```
    Sets the specified character to be a numeric extension character. Other settings for the character are unaffected. Numeric extensions are sequences of characters which directly follow a number, without any intervening whitespace. They are generally used to provide qualifying information for numeric tokens, as in 100004L, 10msec, or 2.0f. Any detected numeric extension is placed in the sval field.
    Setting the end-of-line character to be word may interfere with ability of this tokenizer to count lines. Digits and other characters found in numbers may be specified as word characters, but if numeric parsing is enabled, the formation of numbers will take precedence over the formation of words.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ch - character to be designated for numeric extension
