Filter Readers and Writers

  reader结尾的类读出来的都是JAVA支持的char类型，也就是unicode字符， 而inputstream,outputstream类及其子类读出来的，或者是写出去的都是byte数组。

  
  

  举例来说，BufferedReader有一个函数是readLine, 功能是读取一行数据，DataInputStream也有该函数，但一个读出来是char类型的字符串，一个读出来的是平台支持的类型。这两个类有一个共同的BUG，就是以/r/n来识别一行的结束，如果一行只是以/r结束，就会挂起，然而MAC机子是以/r来标识一行结尾的。下面这个类解决 了这个问题：

  import java.io.*; public class SafeBufferedReader extends BufferedReader { public SafeBufferedReader(Reader in) { this(in, 1024); } public SafeBufferedReader(Reader in, int bufferSize) { super(in, bufferSize); } private boolean lookingForLineFeed = false; public String readLine( ) throws IOException { StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(""); while (true) { int c = this.read( ); if (c == -1) { // end of stream if (sb.equals("")) return null; return sb.toString( ); } else if (c == '/n') { if (lookingForLineFeed) { lookingForLineFeed = false; continue; } else { return sb.toString( ); } } else if (c == '/r') { lookingForLineFeed = true; return sb.toString( ); } else { lookingForLineFeed = false; sb.append((char) c); } } } } 

  
  

   

  The InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter classes act as decorators on top of input and output streams that change the interface from a byte-oriented interface to a character-oriented interface. Once this is done, additional character-oriented filters can be layered on top of the reader or writer using the java.io.FilterReader and java.io.FilterWriterclasses. As with filter streams, there are a variety of subclasses that perform specific filtering, including:

  • BufferedReader

  • BufferedWriter

  • LineNumberReader

  • PushbackReader

  • PrintWriter
