public class StringWriter
extends Writer
A character stream that collects its output in a string buffer, which can then be used to construct a string.

Closing a StringWriter has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException.

Constructor Detail
StringWriter
public StringWriter
()
Create a new string writer using the default initial string-buffer size.

StringWriter
public StringWriter
(int initialSize)
Create a new string writer using the specified initial string-buffer size.
Parameters:
initialSize - The number of char values that will fit into this buffer before it is automatically expanded
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If initialSize is negative
Method Detail
write
public void write
(int c)
Write a single character.
Overrides:
write in class Writer
Parameters:
c - int specifying a character to be written

write
public void write
(char[] cbuf,
 int off,
 int len)
Write a portion of an array of characters.
Overrides:
write in class Writer
Parameters:
cbuf - Array of characters
off - Offset from which to start writing characters
len - Number of characters to write
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - If off is negative, or len is negative, or off + len is negative or greater than the length of the given array

write
public void write
(String str)
Write a string.
Overrides:
write in class Writer
Parameters:
str - String to be written

write
public void write
(String str,
 int off,
 int len)
Write a portion of a string.
Overrides:
write in class Writer
Parameters:
str - String to be written
off - Offset from which to start writing characters
len - Number of characters to write
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - If off is negative, or len is negative, or off + len is negative or greater than the length of the given string

append
public StringWriter append
Appends the specified character sequence to this writer.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

     out.write(csq.toString()) 

Depending on the specification of toString for the character sequence csq, the entire sequence may not be appended. For instance, invoking the toString method of a character buffer will return a subsequence whose content depends upon the buffer's position and limit.

Specified by:
append in interface Appendable
Overrides:
append in class Writer
Parameters:
csq - The character sequence to append. If csq is null, then the four characters "null" are appended to this writer.
Returns:
This writer
Since:
1.5

append
public StringWriter append
(CharSequence csq,
 int start,
 int end)
Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this writer.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq, start, end) when csq is not null, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation


     out.write(csq.subSequence(start, end).toString())
 
Specified by:
append in interface Appendable
Overrides:
append in class Writer
Parameters:
csq - The character sequence from which a subsequence will be appended. If csq is null, then characters will be appended as if csq contained the four characters "null".
start - The index of the first character in the subsequence
end - The index of the character following the last character in the subsequence
Returns:
This writer
Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException - If start or end are negative, start is greater than end, or end is greater than csq.length()
Since:
1.5

append
public StringWriter append
(char c)
Appends the specified character to this writer.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(c) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

     out.write(c) 
Specified by:
append in interface Appendable
Overrides:
append in class Writer
Parameters:
c - The 16-bit character to append
Returns:
This writer
Since:
1.5

toString
public String toString
()
Return the buffer's current value as a string.
Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a string representation of the object.

getBuffer
public StringBuffer getBuffer
()
Return the string buffer itself.
Returns:
StringBuffer holding the current buffer value.

flush
public void flush
()
Flush the stream.

The flush method of StringWriter does nothing.

Specified by:
flush in interface Flushable
Overrides:
flush in class Writer

close
public void close
()
throws
Closing a StringWriter has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException.
Specified by:
close in interface Closeable
close in interface AutoCloseable
Overrides:
close in class Writer
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs
