Class FixedWidthTextRecord

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RecordTextSchema<FixedSizeTextType>, TextSchema

    public class FixedWidthTextRecord
    extends Object
    A definition of a fixed-width record in a text file. As fields as fixed-size, structured text file readers and writers can identify fields based on their position within the record.
    • Constructor Detail

      • FixedWidthTextRecord

        public FixedWidthTextRecord()
        Defines an empty fixed-width record. Default text conversion behavior is used.

        An empty record definition is not meaningful; it is expected that at least one field will be defined before the schema is used. The length of the record is determined from the size of the fields.

        TextConversionDefaults
      • FixedWidthTextRecord

        public FixedWidthTextRecord​(TextConversionDefaults defaults)
        Defines an empty fixed-width record with the specified text conversion behavior.

        An empty record definition is not meaningful; it is expected that at least one field will be defined before the schema is used. The length of the record is determined from the size of the fields.

        Parameters:
        defaults - text conversion behavior to apply by default to the schema
      • FixedWidthTextRecord

        public FixedWidthTextRecord​(TextConversionDefaults defaults,

        Defines a record with the specified text conversion behavior and fields. The field order is the iteration order of the provided field mapping.
        Parameters:
        defaults - default text conversion behavior for the schema
