Class UnicodeSetIterator
This class is not intended for public subclassing.
To iterate over code points and multicharacter strings, use a loop like this:
for (UnicodeSetIterator it = new UnicodeSetIterator(set); it.next();) { processString(it.getString()); }
To iterate over code point ranges, use a loop like this:
for (UnicodeSetIterator it = new UnicodeSetIterator(set); it.nextRange();) { if (it.codepoint != UnicodeSetIterator.IS_STRING) { processCodepointRange(it.codepoint, it.codepointEnd); } else { processString(it.getString()); } }
To iterate over only the strings, start with new UnicodeSetIterator(set).skipToStrings()
.
Warning: For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification. Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.

Field Summary
FieldsModifier and TypeFieldDescriptionint
Current code point, or the special value IS_STRING, if the iterator points to a string.int
When iterating over ranges using nextRange(), codepointEnd contains the inclusive end of the iteration range, if codepoint !static final int
Value of codepoint if the iterator points to a string.If codepoint == IS_STRING, then string points to the current string. -
Constructor Summary
ConstructorsConstructorDescriptionCreate an iterator over nothing.Create an iterator over the given set. -
Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptionGets the current string from the iterator.boolean
next()
Returns the next element in the set, either a single code point or a string.boolean
Returns the next element in the set, either a code point range or a string.void
reset()
Resets this iterator to the start of the set.void
reset
(UnicodeSet uset) Sets this iterator to visit the elements of the given set and resets it to the start of that set.Skips over the remaining code points/ranges, if any.

IS_STRING
public static final int IS_STRINGValue of codepoint if the iterator points to a string. If codepoint == IS_STRING, then examine string for the current iteration result.- See Also:
-
codepoint
public int codepointCurrent code point, or the special value IS_STRING, if the iterator points to a string. -
codepointEnd
public int codepointEndWhen iterating over ranges using nextRange(), codepointEnd contains the inclusive end of the iteration range, if codepoint != IS_STRING. If iterating over code points using next(), or if codepoint == IS_STRING, then the value of codepointEnd is undefined. -
string
If codepoint == IS_STRING, then string points to the current string. If codepoint != IS_STRING, the value of string is undefined.

Constructor Details
-
UnicodeSetIterator
Create an iterator over the given set.- Parameters:
set
- set to iterate over
-
UnicodeSetIterator
public UnicodeSetIterator()Create an iterator over nothing. next() and nextRange() return false. This is a convenience constructor allowing the target to be set later.

Method Details
-
skipToStrings
Skips over the remaining code points/ranges, if any. A following call to next() or nextRange() will yield a string, if there is one. No-op if next() would return false, or if it would yield a string anyway.- Returns:
- this

next
public boolean next()Returns the next element in the set, either a single code point or a string. If there are no more elements in the set, return false. If codepoint == IS_STRING, the value is a string in the string field. Otherwise the value is a single code point in the codepoint field.The order of iteration is all code points in sorted order, followed by all strings sorted order. codepointEnd is undefined after calling this method. string is undefined unless codepoint == IS_STRING. Do not mix calls to next() and nextRange() without calling reset() between them. The results of doing so are undefined.
Warning: For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification. Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
- Returns:
- true if there was another element in the set and this object contains the element.
-
nextRange
public boolean nextRange()Returns the next element in the set, either a code point range or a string. If there are no more elements in the set, return false. If codepoint == IS_STRING, the value is a string in the string field. Otherwise the value is a range of one or more code points from codepoint to codepointeEnd inclusive.The order of iteration is all code points ranges in sorted order, followed by all strings sorted order. Ranges are disjoint and non-contiguous. string is undefined unless codepoint == IS_STRING. Do not mix calls to next() and nextRange() without calling reset() between them. The results of doing so are undefined.
- Returns:
- true if there was another element in the set and this object contains the element.
-
reset
Sets this iterator to visit the elements of the given set and resets it to the start of that set. The iterator is valid only so long as set is valid.- Parameters:
uset
- the set to iterate over.
-
reset
public void reset()Resets this iterator to the start of the set. -
getString
Gets the current string from the iterator. Only use after calling next(), not nextRange().
