- * The BreakIterator class implements methods for finding the location
- * of boundaries in text. BreakIterator is an abstract base class.
- * Instances of BreakIterator maintain a current position and scan over
- * text returning the index of characters where boundaries occur.
- * <P>
- * Line boundary analysis determines where a text string can be broken
- * when line-wrapping. The mechanism correctly handles punctuation and
- * hyphenated words.
- * <P>
- * Sentence boundary analysis allows selection with correct
- * interpretation of periods within numbers and abbreviations, and
- * trailing punctuation marks such as quotation marks and parentheses.
- * <P>
- * Word boundary analysis is used by search and replace functions, as
- * well as within text editing applications that allow the user to
- * select words with a double click. Word selection provides correct
- * interpretation of punctuation marks within and following
- * words. Characters that are not part of a word, such as symbols or
- * punctuation marks, have word-breaks on both sides.
- * <P>
- * Character boundary analysis allows users to interact with
- * characters as they expect to, for example, when moving the cursor
- * through a text string. Character boundary analysis provides correct
- * navigation of through character strings, regardless of how the
- * character is stored. For example, an accented character might be
- * stored as a base character and a diacritical mark. What users
- * consider to be a character can differ between languages.
- * <P>
- * This is the interface for all text boundaries.
- * <P>
- * Examples:
- * <P>
- * Helper function to output text
- * <pre>
- * . void printTextRange( BreakIterator& iterator, UTextOffset start, UTextOffset end )
- * . {
- * . UnicodeString textBuffer, temp;
- * . CharacterIterator *strIter = iterator.createText();
- * . strIter->getText(temp);
- * . cout << " " << start << " " << end << " |"
- * . << temp.extractBetween(start, end, textBuffer)
- * . << "|" << endl;
- * . delete strIter;
- * . }
- * </pre>
- * Print each element in order:
- * <pre>
- * . void printEachForward( BreakIterator& boundary)
- * . {
- * . UTextOffset start = boundary.first();
- * . for (UTextOffset end = boundary.next();
- * . end != BreakIterator::DONE;
- * . start = end, end = boundary.next())
- * . {
- * . printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
- * . }
- * . }
- * </pre>
- * Print each element in reverse order:
- * <pre>
- * . void printEachBackward( BreakIterator& boundary)
- * . {
- * . UTextOffset end = boundary.last();
- * . for (UTextOffset start = boundary.previous();
- * . start != BreakIterator::DONE;
- * . end = start, start = boundary.previous())
- * . {
- * . printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
- * . }
- * . }
- * </pre>
- * Print first element
- * <pre>
- * . void printFirst(BreakIterator& boundary)
- * . {
- * . UTextOffset start = boundary.first();
- * . UTextOffset end = boundary.next();
- * . printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
- * . }
- * </pre>
- * Print last element
- * <pre>
- * . void printLast(BreakIterator& boundary)
- * . {
- * . UTextOffset end = boundary.last();
- * . UTextOffset start = boundary.previous();
- * . printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
- * . }
- * </pre>
- * Print the element at a specified position
- * <pre>
- * . void printAt(BreakIterator &boundary, UTextOffset pos )
- * . {
- * . UTextOffset end = boundary.following(pos);
- * . UTextOffset start = boundary.previous();
- * . printTextRange( boundary, start, end );
- * . }
- * </pre>
- * Creating and using text boundaries
- * <pre>
- * . void BreakIterator_Example( void )
- * . {
- * . BreakIterator* boundary;
- * . UnicodeString stringToExamine("Aaa bbb ccc. Ddd eee fff.");
- * . cout << "Examining: " << stringToExamine << endl;
- * .
- * . //print each sentence in forward and reverse order
- * . boundary = BreakIterator::createSentenceInstance( Locale::US );
- * . boundary->setText(&stringToExamine);
- * . cout << "----- forward: -----------" << endl;
- * . printEachForward(*boundary);
- * . cout << "----- backward: ----------" << endl;
- * . printEachBackward(*boundary);
- * . delete boundary;
- * .
- * . //print each word in order
- * . boundary = BreakIterator::createWordInstance();
- * . boundary->setText(&stringToExamine);
- * . cout << "----- forward: -----------" << endl;
- * . printEachForward(*boundary);
- * . //print first element
- * . cout << "----- first: -------------" << endl;
- * . printFirst(*boundary);
- * . //print last element
- * . cout << "----- last: --------------" << endl;
- * . printLast(*boundary);
- * . //print word at charpos 10
- * . cout << "----- at pos 10: ---------" << endl;
- * . printAt(*boundary, 10 );
- * .
- * . delete boundary;
