com.pervasive.datarush.schema.PaddedTextType

All Implemented Interfaces:

FixedSizeTextType, TextDataType

public class PaddedTextType
extends Object
implements FixedSizeTextType

A wrapper for creating FixedSizeTextType objects from arbitrary TextDataType objects.

Short values are padded with a single padding character according to specified justification with in the field. Long values are truncated on the right.

Constructor Detail

PaddedTextType

public PaddedTextType(TextDataType type,
                      int size,
                      char pad,
                      PaddedTextType.Alignment alignment)

Produces a fixed-size type from another type. Short values produced by the underlying formatter will be padded; long values will be truncated.

Parameters:

type - the type to be padded

size - the width of the resulting type

pad - the character with which short values are padded

alignment - how padding should be applied to short values

Method Detail

Gets the padding character for the type.

Returns:

the character used to pad values

getAlignment

public PaddedTextType.Alignment getAlignment()

Gets the alignment for values.

Returns:

the alignment of values in the padding
