Interface QuasiExprParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

QBuilder, SimpleQuasiParser

public interface QuasiExprParser

Untamed: Given a template string in the language this quasi parser understands, parse it into a ValueMaker which will generate objects of the form the template describes. The template language is a value description language augmented with $-holes, representing values to be provided at runtime to the ValueMaker.

Method Summary

ValueMaker	valueMaker(Twine template) Deprecated.
ValueMaker	valueMaker(Twine template, int[] dlrHoles) Enabled: For the i'th $-hole, dlrHoles[i] is the position of that hole in template, and the character at that position in template must be '$'.

Method Detail

valueMaker

public ValueMaker valueMaker(Twine template,
                             int[] dlrHoles)

Enabled: For the i'th $-hole, dlrHoles[i] is the position of that hole in template, and the character at that position in template must be '$'. '$' characters that don't correspond to positions in dlrHoles are treated as part of the parser's normal language rather than indicating $-holes.

valueMaker

public ValueMaker valueMaker(Twine template)

Deprecated.

Enabled: In this old format, each $-hole is represented by a substring like '${3}' for $-hole number 3 (the fourth hole). '$' and '@' characters that are not holes must be doubled.
