    • getToken

      StringValued getToken(int index)
      Description copied from interface: TokenSequence
      Gets the value at the specified position.
      Specified by:
      getToken in interface ScalarTokenSequence
      Specified by:
      getToken in interface TokenSequence
      Parameters:
      index - the index of the token
      Returns:
      the value
    • getString

      String getString(int index)
      Gets the value of the specified element as a string.
      Parameters:
      index - the position of the token in the sequence
      Returns:
      the value of the token. If the token is null valued, the empty string is returned.
    • getValues

      void getValues(int start, String[] values, boolean[] nulls, int offset, int length)
      Gets the values and null indicators for a range of tokens.
      Parameters:
      start - the starting index of the range
      values - an array into which to place element values
      nulls - an array into which to place null indicator values
      offset - the starting offset into the target arrays. That is, elements[offset] and nulls[offset] will get the value and null indicator respectively of the token at position start, and so on.
      length - number of tokens to get
    • newValueIterator

      StringValuedIterator newValueIterator()
      Description copied from interface: TokenSequence
      Creates an iterator over the non-null values of this sequence. The iterator will automatically be reset as modifications are made to the sequence.
      Specified by:
      newValueIterator in interface ScalarTokenSequence
      Specified by:
      newValueIterator in interface TokenSequence
      Returns:
      an newly-created iterator over the non-null values of this sequence.
