org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.files.core.model
Class RemoteFileFilterString


java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.files.core.model.RemoteFileFilterString
All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable

public class RemoteFileFilterString
extends Object
implements Cloneable

A string representing a filter sent to remote file subsystems.

Filters can be absolute or relative. Absolute contains a folder path, while relative do not.

The files can be filtered by name, or by a list of file types. If by name, it can have up to 2 asterisks anywhere in the name for wildcarding. If by types, multiple types can by specified. The types are the file extensions without the dot, as in "java" or "class".

Examples:

  • Absolute file name filter: d:\mystuff\phil*.abc
  • Relative file name filter: phil*.abc
  • Absolute file type filter: d:\mystuff\java,class,
  • Relative file type filter: java,class,

    Syntactically, file type filter strings have at least one comma. Note that the file name filter string "*.java" is semantically the same as a type filter string "java,". Either one can be used and will get the same results. However, if you specify "java" you will be in trouble, as it will mean look for a file explicitly named "java".

    It is invalid to have both a comma and an asterisk in the same filter string. It is also invalid to have both a comma and a period in the same filter string. Clients may use or subclass this class. When subclassing, clients need to ensure that the subclass is always capable of performing a deep clone operation with the clone() method, so if they add fields of complex type, these need to be dealt with by overriding clone().

    Constructor Detail

    RemoteFileFilterString

    public RemoteFileFilterString()
    Constructor to use for a filter to list roots when used absolutely, or list all contents when used relatively.


    RemoteFileFilterString

    public RemoteFileFilterString(
    IRemoteFileSubSystemConfiguration subsysFactory)
    Constructor to use when there is no existing filter string.

    This constructor is better that the default constructor, because it takes a remote file subsystem factory, from which we can query the folder and path separator characters, which are needed to parse and re-build filter strings.

    See Also:
    setPath(String), setFile(String), setTypes(String[])

    RemoteFileFilterString

    public RemoteFileFilterString(
    IRemoteFileSubSystemConfiguration subsysFactory,
                                  
    String input)
    Constructor to use when an absolute filter string already exists.


    RemoteFileFilterString

    public RemoteFileFilterString(
    IRemoteFileSubSystemConfiguration subsysFactory,
                                  
    String path,
                                  
    String input)
    Constructor to use when you have a path and filename filter or comma-separated file types list. In the latter case, the last char must be a TYPE_SEP or comma, even for a single type.

    IRemoteFileSubSystemConfiguration subsysFactory)

    setFile

    Set the path to list files and/or folders in


    setTypes

    public void setTypes(

    getTypesString

    public static 
    String getTypesString(
    String[] typesArray)
    Concatenate the given file types as a single string, each type comma-separated


    getTypesAsString

    public 
    String getTypesAsString()
    For file types filters, returns the types as a string of concatenated types, comma-delimited. For file name filters, returns null;


    getPath

    public 
    String getPath()
    Get the path to list files and/or folders in


    getTypes

    public 
    String[] getTypes()
    Get the types to subset by, if specified. Will be null if this is not a by-type filter string.


    getShowFiles

    public boolean getShowFiles()
    Should the filter show individual files?


    getShowSubDirs

    public boolean getShowSubDirs()
    Subdirs allowed?


    getFilterByTypes

    public boolean getFilterByTypes()
    Return true if this filter string filters by file types versus by file name

    protected void parse(
    String inputPath,
                         
    String input)

    parseFileOrTypes

    protected void parseFileOrTypes(
    String filter)
    Parse the non-folder part of the filter string. Will either be a generic name or comma-separated list of types.


    parseTypes

    public static 
    String[] parseTypes(
    String typeList)
    Parse a comma-separated list of strings into an array of strings


    toString

    public 
    String toString()
    Serialize into a string capturing all the attributes

    Overrides:
    toString in class Object

    toStringNoSwitches

    public 
    String toStringNoSwitches()
    Return the filter as a string, without the switches for no-files, no-folders


    clone

    public 
    Object clone()
    Clone this into another filter string object with the same attributes. Subclasses must ensure that such a deep copy operation is always possible, so their state must always be cloneable. Which should always be possible to achieve, since this Object also needs to be serializable.

    Overrides:
    clone in class Object
