Class FixedLengthReader

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RecordReader

    public class FixedLengthReader
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements RecordReader
    A FixedLengthReader is used to read records from a fixed length file or input stream. A fixed length record is represented using the String class. Records must be terminated by a single configurable character, or by default, any of the following: line feed (LF), carriage return (CR), or CRLF combination.

    If a record may span multiple lines, a single line continuation character may be configured. The line continuation character must immediately precede the record termination character. Note that line continuation characters are not included in the record text.
