Method Detail

_nextRecord

public Record _nextRecord()
                   throws IOException

Returns the next record in the master file. This will process any directives before the next record.

Returns:

The next record.

Throws:

IOException - The master file could not be read, or was syntactically invalid.

nextRecord

public Record nextRecord()
                  throws IOException

Returns the next record in the master file. This will process any directives before the next record.

Returns:

The next record.

Throws:

IOException - The master file could not be read, or was syntactically invalid.

expandGenerate

public void expandGenerate(boolean wantExpand)

Specifies whether $GENERATE statements should be expanded. Whether expanded or not, the specifications for generated records are available by calling generators. This must be called before a $GENERATE statement is seen during iteration to have an effect.

generators

public Iterator generators()

Returns an iterator over the generators specified in the master file; that is, the parsed contents of $GENERATE statements.
