/**
* {@icuenhanced java.text.BreakIterator}.{@icu _usage_}
*
* A class that locates boundaries in text. This class defines a protocol for
* objects that break up a piece of natural-language text according to a set
* of criteria. Instances or subclasses of BreakIterator can be provided, for
* example, to break a piece of text into words, sentences, or logical characters
* according to the conventions of some language or group of languages.
*
* We provide five built-in types of BreakIterator:
*
- getTitleInstance() returns a BreakIterator that locates boundaries
* between title breaks.
*
- getSentenceInstance() returns a BreakIterator that locates boundaries
* between sentences. This is useful for triple-click selection, for example.
*
- getWordInstance() returns a BreakIterator that locates boundaries between
* words. This is useful for double-click selection or "find whole words" searches.
* This type of BreakIterator makes sure there is a boundary position at the
* beginning and end of each legal word. (Numbers count as words, too.) Whitespace
* and punctuation are kept separate from real words.
*
- getLineInstance() returns a BreakIterator that locates positions where it is
* legal for a text editor to wrap lines. This is similar to word breaking, but
* not the same: punctuation and whitespace are generally kept with words (you don't
* want a line to start with whitespace, for example), and some special characters
* can force a position to be considered a line-break position or prevent a position
* from being a line-break position.
*
- getCharacterInstance() returns a BreakIterator that locates boundaries between
* logical characters. Because of the structure of the Unicode encoding, a logical
* character may be stored internally as more than one Unicode code point. (A with an
* umlaut may be stored as an a followed by a separate combining umlaut character,
* for example, but the user still thinks of it as one character.) This iterator allows
* various processes (especially text editors) to treat as characters the units of text
* that a user would think of as characters, rather than the units of text that the
* computer sees as "characters".
*
* BreakIterator's interface follows an "iterator" model (hence the name), meaning it
* has a concept of a "current position" and methods like first(), last(), next(),
* and previous() that update the current position. All BreakIterators uphold the
* following invariants:
* - The beginning and end of the text are always treated as boundary positions.
*
- The current position of the iterator is always a boundary position (random-
* access methods move the iterator to the nearest boundary position before or
* after the specified position, not _to_ the specified position).
*
- DONE is used as a flag to indicate when iteration has stopped. DONE is only
* returned when the current position is the end of the text and the user calls next(),
* or when the current position is the beginning of the text and the user calls
* previous().
*
- Break positions are numbered by the positions of the characters that follow
* them. Thus, under normal circumstances, the position before the first character
* is 0, the position after the first character is 1, and the position after the
* last character is 1 plus the length of the string.
*
- The client can change the position of an iterator, or the text it analyzes,
* at will, but cannot change the behavior. If the user wants different behavior, he
* must instantiate a new iterator.
*
* BreakIterator accesses the text it analyzes through a CharacterIterator, which makes
* it possible to use BreakIterator to analyze text in any text-storage vehicle that
* provides a CharacterIterator interface.
*
* Note: Some types of BreakIterator can take a long time to create, and
* instances of BreakIterator are not currently cached by the system. For
* optimal performance, keep instances of BreakIterator around as long as makes
* sense. For example, when word-wrapping a document, don't create and destroy a
* new BreakIterator for each line. Create one break iterator for the whole document
* (or whatever stretch of text you're wrapping) and use it to do the whole job of
* wrapping the text.
*
*
* Examples:
* Creating and using text boundaries
*
*
* public static void main(String args[]) {
* if (args.length == 1) {
* String stringToExamine = args[0];
* //print each word in order
* BreakIterator boundary = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
* boundary.setText(stringToExamine);
* printEachForward(boundary, stringToExamine);
* //print each sentence in reverse order
* boundary = BreakIterator.getSentenceInstance(Locale.US);
* boundary.setText(stringToExamine);
* printEachBackward(boundary, stringToExamine);
* printFirst(boundary, stringToExamine);
* printLast(boundary, stringToExamine);
* }
* }
*
*
*
* Print each element in order
*
*
* public static void printEachForward(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
* int start = boundary.first();
* for (int end = boundary.next();
* end != BreakIterator.DONE;
* start = end, end = boundary.next()) {
* System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
* }
* }
*
*
*
* Print each element in reverse order
*
*
* public static void printEachBackward(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
* int end = boundary.last();
* for (int start = boundary.previous();
* start != BreakIterator.DONE;
* end = start, start = boundary.previous()) {
* System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
* }
* }
*
*
*
* Print first element
*
*
* public static void printFirst(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
* int start = boundary.first();
* int end = boundary.next();
* System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
* }
*
*
*
* Print last element
*
*
* public static void printLast(BreakIterator boundary, String source) {
* int end = boundary.last();
* int start = boundary.previous();
* System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
* }
*
*
*
* Print the element at a specified position
*
*
* public static void printAt(BreakIterator boundary, int pos, String source) {
* int end = boundary.following(pos);
* int start = boundary.previous();
* System.out.println(source.substring(start,end));
* }
*
*
*
* Find the next word
*
*
* public static int nextWordStartAfter(int pos, String text) {
* BreakIterator wb = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
* wb.setText(text);
* int last = wb.following(pos);
* int current = wb.next();
* while (current != BreakIterator.DONE) {
* for (int p = last; p < current; p++) {
* if (Character.isLetter(text.charAt(p)))
* return last;
* }
* last = current;
* current = wb.next();
* }
* return BreakIterator.DONE;
* }
*
* (The iterator returned by BreakIterator.getWordInstance() is unique in that
* the break positions it returns don't represent both the start and end of the
* thing being iterated over. That is, a sentence-break iterator returns breaks
* that each represent the end of one sentence and the beginning of the next.
* With the word-break iterator, the characters between two boundaries might be a
* word, or they might be the punctuation or whitespace between two words. The
* above code uses a simple heuristic to determine which boundary is the beginning
* of a word: If the characters between this boundary and the next boundary
* include at least one letter (this can be an alphabetical letter, a CJK ideograph,
* a Hangul syllable, a Kana character, etc.), then the text between this boundary
* and the next is a word; otherwise, it's the material between words.)
