The StreamTokenizer class takes an input stream and parses it into "tokens", allowing the tokens to be read one at a time.

Remarks

The StreamTokenizer class takes an input stream and parses it into "tokens", allowing the tokens to be read one at a time. The parsing process is controlled by a table and a number of flags that can be set to various states. The stream tokenizer can recognize identifiers, numbers, quoted strings, and various comment styles.

Each byte read from the input stream is regarded as a character in the range '\u005Cu0000' through '\u005Cu00FF'. The character value is used to look up five possible attributes of the character: white space, alphabetic, numeric, string quote, and comment character. Each character can have zero or more of these attributes.

In addition, an instance has four flags. These flags indicate: <ul> <li>Whether line terminators are to be returned as tokens or treated as white space that merely separates tokens. <li>Whether C-style comments are to be recognized and skipped. <li>Whether C++-style comments are to be recognized and skipped. <li>Whether the characters of identifiers are converted to lowercase. </ul>

A typical application first constructs an instance of this class, sets up the syntax tables, and then repeatedly loops calling the nextToken method in each iteration of the loop until it returns the value TT_EOF.

Constructors

StreamTokenizer(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.
StreamTokenizer(Reader)	Create a tokenizer that parses the given character stream.
StreamTokenizer(Stream)	Obsolete. Creates a stream tokenizer that parses the specified input stream.

Fields

TtEof	Obsolete. A constant indicating that the end of the stream has been read.
TtEol	Obsolete. A constant indicating that the end of the line has been read.
TtNumber	Obsolete. A constant indicating that a number token has been read.
TtWord	Obsolete. A constant indicating that a word token has been read.

Properties

Class	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`. (Inherited from Object)
Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
Nval	If the current token is a number, this field contains the value of that number.
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
Sval	If the current token is a word token, this field contains a string giving the characters of the word token.
ThresholdClass	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
ThresholdType	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Ttype	After a call to the `nextToken` method, this field contains the type of the token just read.

Methods

OrdinaryChar(Int32)	Specifies that the character argument is "ordinary" in this tokenizer.
OrdinaryChars(Int32, Int32)	Specifies that all characters c in the range `low <= <i>c</i> <= high` are "ordinary" in this tokenizer.
ParseNumbers()	Specifies that numbers should be parsed by this tokenizer.
PushBack()	Causes the next call to the `nextToken` method of this tokenizer to return the current value in the `ttype` field, and not to modify the value in the `nval` or `sval` field.
QuoteChar(Int32)	Specifies that matching pairs of this character delimit string constants in this tokenizer.
ResetSyntax()	Resets this tokenizer's syntax table so that all characters are "ordinary.

Wait()	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>. (Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64, Int32)	Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object)
WhitespaceChars(Int32, Int32)	Specifies that all characters c in the range `low <= <i>c</i> <= high` are white space characters.
WordChars(Int32, Int32)	Specifies that all characters c in the range `low <= <i>c</i> <= high` are word constituents.
