public Dictionary(InputStream in)
           throws IOException

Initializes the Dictionary from an existing dictionary resource.

Parameters:

in - InputStream

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

put

public void put(StringList tokens)

Adds the tokens to the dictionary as one new entry.

Parameters:

tokens - the new entry

getMinTokenCount

public int getMinTokenCount()

Returns:

minimum token count in the dictionary

getMaxTokenCount

public int getMaxTokenCount()

Returns:

maximum token count in the dictionary

contains

public boolean contains(StringList tokens)

Checks if this dictionary has the given entry.

Parameters:

tokens - query

Returns:

true if it contains the entry otherwise false

remove

public void remove(StringList tokens)

Removes the given tokens form the current instance.

Parameters:

tokens - filter tokens

iterator

public Iterator<StringList> iterator()

Retrieves an Iterator over all tokens.

Specified by:

iterator in interface Iterable<StringList>

Returns:

token-Iterator

size

public int size()

Retrieves the number of tokens in the current instance.

Returns:

number of tokens

serialize

public void serialize(OutputStream out)
               throws IOException

Writes the current instance to the given OutputStream.

Parameters:

out - OutputStream

Throws:

IOException

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

parseOneEntryPerLine

public static Dictionary parseOneEntryPerLine(Reader in)
                                       throws IOException

Reads a dictionary which has one entry per line. The tokens inside an entry are whitespace delimited.

Parameters:

in - Reader

Returns:

the parsed dictionary

Throws:
