gmx::TextReader Class Reference

#include <gromacs/utility/textreader.h>

Description

Reads text from a TextInputStream.

This class provides more formatted reading capabilities than reading raw lines from the stream (and a natural place to implement more such capabilities).

All methods that read from the stream can throw any exceptions that the underlying stream throws.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

gmx::TextReader::TextReader ( const std::string &  filename )

explicit

Creates a reader that reads from specified file.

Parameters

[in]

filename

Path to the file to open.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	on any I/O error.

This constructor is provided for convenience for reading directly from a file, without the need to construct multiple objects.

gmx::TextReader::TextReader ( TextInputStream *  stream )

explicit

Creates a reader that reads from specified stream.

Parameters

[in]

stream

Stream to read from.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc

if out of memory.

The caller is responsible of the lifetime of the stream (should remain in existence as long as the reader exists).

This constructor is provided for convenience for cases where the stream is not allocated with new and/or not managed by a std::shared_ptr (e.g., if the stream is an object on the stack).

gmx::TextReader::TextReader ( const TextInputStreamPointer &  stream )

explicit

Creates a reader that reads from specified stream.

Parameters

[in]

stream

Stream to read from.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc

if out of memory.

The reader keeps a reference to the stream, so the caller can pass in a temporary if necessary.

Member Function Documentation

std::string gmx::TextReader::readAll

(

)

Reads all remaining lines from the stream as a single string.

Returns

Full contents of the stream (from the current point to the end).

std::string gmx::TextReader::readFileToString ( const char *  filename )

static

Reads contents of a file to a std::string.

Parameters

[in]

filename

Name of the file to read.

Returns

The contents of filename.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	on any I/O error.

std::string gmx::TextReader::readFileToString ( const std::string &  filename )

static

Reads contents of a file to a std::string.

Parameters

[in]

filename

Name of the file to read.

Returns

The contents of filename.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	on any I/O error.

bool gmx::TextReader::readLine

(

std::string *

line

)

Reads a single line (including newline) from the stream.

Parameters

[out]

line

String to receive the line.

Returns

false if nothing was read because the file ended.

On error or when false is returned, line will be empty. Newlines will be returned as part of line if it was present in the stream. To loop over all lines in the stream, use:

std::string line;
while (reader.readLine(&line))
{
    // ...
}

Behaviours such as trimming whitespace or comments can be configured by calling other methods before this one.

void gmx::TextReader::setTrimLeadingWhiteSpace

(

bool

doTrimming

)

Sets whether the reader should trim leading whitespace from a line before returning it.

Parameters

[in]

doTrimming

Whether trimming should be active.

void gmx::TextReader::setTrimTrailingComment	(	bool	doTrimming,
		char	commentChar
	)

Sets whether the reader should trim at trailing comment from a line before returning it.

Note that comment trimming will precede whitespace trimming when both are active.

Parameters

[in]	commentChar	The character that begins a comment.
[in]	doTrimming	Whether trimming should be active.

void gmx::TextReader::setTrimTrailingWhiteSpace

(

bool

doTrimming

)

Sets whether the reader should trim trailing whitespace from a line before returning it.

Note that comment trimming will precede whitespace trimming when both are active.

Parameters

[in]

doTrimming

Whether trimming should be active.
