Method Summary

String	escapeChar(int c, boolean forCharLiteral) Given a character value, return a string representing the character that can be embedded inside a string literal or character literal This works for Java/C/C++ code-generation and languages with compatible special-character-escapment.
String	escapeString(String s) Converts a String into a representation that can be use as a literal when surrounded by double-quotes.
String	literalChar(int c) Given a character value, return a string representing the character literal that can be recognized by the target language compiler.

Method Detail

escapeChar

public String escapeChar(int c,
                         boolean forCharLiteral)

Given a character value, return a string representing the character that can be embedded inside a string literal or character literal This works for Java/C/C++ code-generation and languages with compatible special-character-escapment. Code-generators for languages should override this method.

Specified by:

escapeChar in interface CharFormatter

Parameters:

c - The character of interest.

forCharLiteral - true to escape for char literal, false for string literal

escapeString

public String escapeString(String s)

Converts a String into a representation that can be use as a literal when surrounded by double-quotes.

Specified by:

escapeString in interface CharFormatter

Parameters:

s - The String to be changed into a literal

literalChar

public String literalChar(int c)

Given a character value, return a string representing the character literal that can be recognized by the target language compiler. This works for languages that use single-quotes for character literals. Code-generators for languages should override this method.

Specified by:

literalChar in interface CharFormatter

Parameters:

c - The character of interest.

literalString

public String literalString(String s)

Converts a String into a string literal This works for languages that use double-quotes for string literals. Code-generators for languages should override this method.

Specified by:

literalString in interface CharFormatter

Parameters:

s - The String to be changed into a literal
