      private static final long serialVersionUID
      Required for serialization support. Lang version 2.0.
      See Also:

    • start

      private final char start
      The first character, inclusive, in the range.

    • end

      private final char end
      The last character, inclusive, in the range.

    • negated

      private final boolean negated
      True if the range is everything except the characters specified.

    • iToString

    • CharRange

      private CharRange(char start, char end, boolean negated)

      Constructs a CharRange over a set of characters, optionally negating the range.

      A negated range includes everything except that defined by the start and end characters.

      If start and end are in the wrong order, they are reversed. Thus a-e is the same as e-a.

      Parameters:
      start - first character, inclusive, in this range
      end - last character, inclusive, in this range
      negated - true to express everything except the range

  • Method Details

    • is

      public static CharRange is(char ch)

      Constructs a CharRange over a single character.

      Parameters:
      ch - only character in this range
      Returns:
      the new CharRange object
      Since:
      2.5

    • isNot

      public static CharRange isNot(char ch)

      Constructs a negated CharRange over a single character.

      A negated range includes everything except that defined by the single character.

      Parameters:
      ch - only character in this range
      Returns:
      the new CharRange object
      Since:
      2.5

    • isIn

      public static CharRange isIn(char start, char end)

      Constructs a CharRange over a set of characters.

      If start and end are in the wrong order, they are reversed. Thus a-e is the same as e-a.

      Parameters:
      start - first character, inclusive, in this range
      end - last character, inclusive, in this range
      Returns:
      the new CharRange object
      Since:
      2.5

    • isNotIn

      public static CharRange isNotIn(char start, char end)

      Constructs a negated CharRange over a set of characters.

      A negated range includes everything except that defined by the start and end characters.

      If start and end are in the wrong order, they are reversed. Thus a-e is the same as e-a.

      Parameters:
      start - first character, inclusive, in this range
      end - last character, inclusive, in this range
      Returns:
