 * 

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".
* The text boundary positions are found according to the rules * described in Unicode Standard Annex #29, Text Boundaries, and * Unicode Standard Annex #14, Line Breaking Properties. These * are available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/ and * http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/. *

* 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.) *
