Class Parser

java.lang.Object

net.coderazzi.filters.parser.Parser

All Implemented Interfaces:

IParser

public class Parser
extends Object
implements IParser

Basic implementation of a IParser, supporting only simple operators referring to the content of a single column.
The supporter operators include:

• Comparison operators. The comparison is done on the parsed object, not on the string representation, unless no Format or Comparator is defined for the given type. For example, specifying the text ">= 4" implies, for a column with integer types, that a direct comparison between integers will be performed. These operators are:
  • >=
  • >
  • <
  • <=
  • <>, !: all behave the same
• Basic wildcard operators. These operators work using the string representation of the types (using, when possible, the defined Format instance). Only two wildcard characters are defined: * and ?
  • ~: for example ~ *vadis* will filter in all expressions including the substring vadis
  • !~: negates the previous operator
• Regular expression operator. There is only one such operator: ~~, accepting a java regular expression.

In addition, providing no operator will behave as the operator ~
