Class BeforePosition

java.lang.Object

org.brains2b.struct.position.RelativePosition

org.brains2b.struct.position.BeforePosition

All Implemented Interfaces:

Position

public class BeforePosition
extends RelativePosition

BeforePostion returns the Position of a Position object before an anchor given the supplied conditions

The conditions which can be supplied are:

• size of gap (number of separable tokens) where 0 is irrelevant
• absolute gap measure meaning the word should be exactly the number of gaps removed from the anchor. If gap = 1 this will always be absolute
• not-indicator meaning the start should not be found around the anchor

public BeforePosition(java.lang.String mark,
                      java.lang.String anchor)

Constructor

Kept around because it is used in existing code

With this constructor the gap is set to 0 (not relevant) and not-indicator is false

Parameters:

mark - String, the mark to look for

anchor - String, anchor to find the mark before

Constructor

Parameters:

mark - Position, the mark to look for

anchor - Position, anchor to find the mark before

gap - int, number of seperable token-sequences between mark and anchor

absoluteGap - boolean, true if the gap should be absolute, false if mark should be within the gap from the anchor

not - boolean, true if the mark should only be returned if it is not before anchor

Method Detail

getLength

public int getLength()

get the length of the position returned by Position.getPosition(String, int)

Returns:

int length of the position, usually the length of the mark the position found, but can be 0
