Class FixedLengthReader

java.lang.Object

org.beanio.stream.fixedlength.FixedLengthReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

RecordReader

public class FixedLengthReader
extends Object
implements RecordReader

A FixedLengthReader is used to read records from a fixed length file or input stream. A fixed length record is represented using the String class. Records must be terminated by a single configurable character, or by default, any of the following: line feed (LF), carriage return (CR), or CRLF combination.

If a record may span multiple lines, a single line continuation character may be configured. The line continuation character must immediately precede the record termination character. Note that line continuation characters are not included in the record text.

Since:

1.0

Specified by:

getRecordLineNumber in interface RecordReader

Returns:

the beginning line number of the last record read

getRecordText

public String getRecordText()

Description copied from interface: RecordReader

Returns the unparsed record text of the last record read.

Specified by:

getRecordText in interface RecordReader

Returns:

the unparsed text of the last record read

read

public String read()
            throws IOException,
