public final class ASCIIFoldingFilter
extends TokenFilter

This class converts alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic Unicode characters which are not in the first 127 ASCII characters (the "Basic Latin" Unicode block) into their ASCII equivalents, if one exists. Characters from the following Unicode blocks are converted; however, only those characters with reasonable ASCII alternatives are converted:

• C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf
• Latin Extended-A: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0100.pdf
• Latin Extended-B: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf

Constructor Detail

ASCIIFoldingFilter

public ASCIIFoldingFilter(TokenStream input)

ASCIIFoldingFilter

public ASCIIFoldingFilter(TokenStream input,
                  boolean preserveOriginal)

Create a new ASCIIFoldingFilter.

Parameters:

input - TokenStream to filter

preserveOriginal - should the original tokens be kept on the input stream with a 0 position increment from the folded tokens?

Method Detail

isPreserveOriginal

public boolean isPreserveOriginal()

Does the filter preserve the original tokens?

incrementToken

public boolean incrementToken()
                       throws IOException

Specified by:

incrementToken in class TokenStream

Throws:

IOException

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException

Overrides:

reset in class TokenFilter

Throws:

IOException

foldToASCII

public void foldToASCII(char[] input,
               int length)

Converts characters above ASCII to their ASCII equivalents. For example, accents are removed from accented characters.

Parameters:

input - The string to fold

length - The number of characters in the input string

foldToASCII

public static final int foldToASCII(char[] input,
              int inputPos,
              char[] output,
              int outputPos,
              int length)

Converts characters above ASCII to their ASCII equivalents. For example, accents are removed from accented characters.

Parameters:

input - The characters to fold

inputPos - Index of the first character to fold

output - The result of the folding. Should be of size >= length * 4.

outputPos - Index of output where to put the result of the folding

length - The number of characters to fold

Returns:

length of output
