public class Code
extends Object

Code provides some simple wrapper functions for encoding and decoding basic data types for storage in a pseudo-Java source code strings format. This differs from just "printing" them to string in that the actual precision of the object is maintained. Code attempts to keep the representations as "Java-like" as possible -- the exceptions being primarily floats and doubles, which are encoded as ints and longs. Encoding of objects and arrays is not supported. You'll have to handle that yourself. Strings are supported.

Everything is case-SENSITIVE. Here's the breakdown.

Type	Format
boolean	true or false (old style, case sensitive) or T or F (new style, case sensitive)
byte	bbyte|
short	sshort|
int	iint|
long	llong|
float	ffloatConvertedToIntForStorage|humanReadableFloat| or (only for reading in) f|humanReadableFloat|
float	ddoubleConvertedToLongForStorage|humanReadableDouble| or (only for reading in) d|humanReadableDouble|
char	standard Java char, except that the only valid escape sequences are: \0 \t \n \b \' \" \ u unicodeHex
string	standard Java string with \ u ...\ u Unicode escapes, except that the only other valid escape sequences are: \0 \t \n \b \' \"

Method Details

encode

public static String encode(boolean b)

Encodes a boolean.

encode

public static String encode(byte b)

Encodes a byte.

encode

public static String encode(char c)

Encodes a character.

encode

public static String encode(short s)

Encodes a short.

encode

public static String encode(int i)

Encodes an int.

encode

public static String encode(long l)

Encodes a long.

encode

public static String encode(float f)

Encodes a float.

encode

public static String encode(double d)

Encodes a double.

encode

public static String encode(String s)

Encodes a String.

decode

public static void decode(DecodeReturn d)

Decodes the next item out of a DecodeReturn and modifies the DecodeReturn to hold the results. See DecodeReturn for more explanations about how to interpret the results.

checkPreamble

public static DecodeReturn checkPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, then trims the line and checks the preamble. Returns a DecodeReturn on the line if successful, else posts a fatal error. Sets the DecodeReturn's line number. The DecodeReturn has not yet been decoded. You'll need to do that with Code.decode(...)

readStringWithPreamble

public static String readStringWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a string if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readCharacterWithPreamble

public static char readCharacterWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a character if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readByteWithPreamble

public static byte readByteWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a byte if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readShortWithPreamble

public static short readShortWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a short if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readLongWithPreamble

public static long readLongWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a long if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readIntegerWithPreamble

public static int readIntegerWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in an integer if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readFloatWithPreamble

public static float readFloatWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a float if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readDoubleWithPreamble

public static double readDoubleWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a double if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.

readBooleanWithPreamble

public static boolean readBooleanWithPreamble(String preamble,
 ec.EvolutionState state,
 LineNumberReader reader)

Finds the next nonblank line, skips past an expected preamble, and reads in a boolean value ("true" or "false") if there is one, and returns it. Generates an error otherwise.
