Method Detail

correctSeparator

public static final String correctSeparator(String flnm)

Corrects the separator from '/' to the system dependent one. Note: always uses '/' even though Windows uses '\\'.

readAll

public static final byte[] readAll(InputStream in)
                            throws IOException

Returns all bytes in the input stream, never null (but its length might zero).

Notice: this method is memory hungry.

Notice: it doesn't close in

Throws:

IOException

readAll

public static final StringBuffer readAll(Reader reader)
                                  throws IOException

Returns all characters in the reader, never null (but its length might zero).

Notice: this method is memory hungry.

Throws:

IOException

copy

public static final void copy(Writer writer,
        Reader reader)
                       throws IOException

Copies a reader into a writer.

Notice: it doesn't close reader or writer

Parameters:

writer - the destination

reader - the source

Throws:

IOException

copy

public static final void copy(OutputStream out,
        InputStream in)
                       throws IOException

Copies an input stream to a output stream.

Notice: it doesn't close in or out

Parameters:

out - the destination

in - the source

Throws:

IOException

copy

public static final void copy(File dst,
        Reader reader,
        String charset)
                       throws IOException

Copies a reader into a file (the original content, if any, are erased). The source and destination files will be closed after copied.

Parameters:

dst - the destination

reader - the source

charset - the charset; null as default (ISO-8859-1).

Throws:

IOException

copy

public static final void copy(File dst,
        InputStream in)
                       throws IOException

Copies an input stream into a file (the original content, if any, are erased). The file will be closed after copied.

Parameters:

dst - the destination

in - the source

Throws:

IOException

copy

public static final void copy(File dst,
        File src,
        int flags)
                       throws IOException

Copies a file or a directory into another.

If neither CP_UPDATE nor CP_OVERWRITE, IOException is thrown if the destination exists.

Parameters:

flags - any combination of CP_UPDATE, CP_PRESERVE, CP_OVERWRITE.

Throws:

IOException

deleteAll

public static final boolean deleteAll(File file)

Deletes all files under the specified path.

close

public static final void close(InputStream strm)

Close an input stream without throwing an exception.

close

public static final void close(Reader reader)

Close a reader without throwing an exception.

close

public static final void close(OutputStream strm)

Close an output stream without throwing an exception.

Since:

5.0.4

close

public static final void close(Writer writer)

Close a writer without throwing an exception.

Since:

5.0.4

normalize

public static final String normalize(String parentPath,
               String childPath)

Normalizes the concatenation of two paths.

Parameters:

parentPath - the parent's path

childPath - the child's path If it starts with "/", parentPath is ignored.

Since:

5.0.0

normalize

public static final String normalize(String path)

Normalizes the specified path. It removes consecutive slashes, ending slashes, redundant . and ...

Unlike File, normalize(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) always assumes the separator to be '/', and it cannot handle the device prefix (e.g., c:). However, it handles //.

Parameters:

path - the path to normalize. If null, an empty string is returned.

Since:

5.0.0

write

public static final void write(Writer out,
         StringBuffer sb)
                        throws IOException

Writes the specified string buffer to the specified writer. Use this method instead of out.write(sb.toString()), if sb.length() is large.

Throws:

IOException

Since:

5.0.0

locate

public static final String locate(String flnm)

Locates a file based o the current Locale. It never returns null.

If the filename contains "*", it will be replaced with a proper Locale. For example, if the current Locale is zh_TW and the resource is named "ab*.cd", then it searches "ab_zh_TW.cd", "ab_zh.cd" and then "ab.cd", until any of them is found.

Note: "*" must be right before ".", or the last character. For example, "ab*.cd" and "ab*" are both correct, while "ab*cd" and "ab*\/cd" are ignored.

Unlike Locators.locate(java.lang.String, java.util.Locale, org.zkoss.util.resource.Locator), the filename must contain '*', while Locators.locate(java.lang.String, java.util.Locale, org.zkoss.util.resource.Locator) always tries to locate the file by inserting the locale before '.'. In other words, Files.locate("/a/b*.c") is similar to Locators.locate(("/a/b.c", null, a_file_locator);

Parameters:

flnm - the filename to locate. If it doesn't contain any '*', it is returned directly. If the file is not found, flnm is returned, too.

Since:

5.0.0
