HeadFilter

public HeadFilter(java.io.Reader in)
Creates a new filtered reader.

Parameters:
in - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be null.
Method Detail

read

public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException
Returns the next character in the filtered stream. If the desired number of lines have already been read, the resulting stream is effectively at an end. Otherwise, the next character from the underlying stream is read and returned.

Overrides:
read in class java.io.FilterReader
Returns:
the next character in the resulting stream, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if the underlying stream throws an IOException during reading

setLines

public void setLines(long lines)
Sets the number of lines to be returned in the filtered stream.

Parameters:
lines - the number of lines to be returned in the filtered stream

setSkip

public void setSkip(long skip)
Sets the number of lines to be skipped in the filtered stream.

Parameters:
skip - the number of lines to be skipped in the filtered stream

chain

public java.io.Reader chain(java.io.Reader rdr)
Creates a new HeadFilter using the passed in Reader for instantiation.

Specified by:
chain in interface ChainableReader
Parameters:
rdr - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be null.
Returns:
a new filter based on this configuration, but filtering the specified reader
