Class UnlabeledFileIterator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.util.Iterator<Instance>

    public class UnlabeledFileIterator
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.util.Iterator<Instance>
    An iterator that generates instances from an initial directory or set of directories. The iterator will recurse through sub-directories. Each filename becomes the data field of an instance, and the targets are set to null. To set the target values to the directory name, use FileIterator instead.

      • UnlabeledFileIterator

        protected UnlabeledFileIterator​(java.io.File[] directories,
                                        java.io.FileFilter fileFilter)
        Construct a FileIterator that will supply filenames within initial directories as instances
        Parameters:
        directories - Array of directories to collect files from
        fileFilter - class implementing interface FileFilter that will decide which names to accept. May be null.
        targetPattern - regex Pattern applied to the filename whose first parenthesized group on matching is taken to be the target value of the generated instance. The pattern is applied to the directory with the matcher.find() method. If null, then all instances will have target null.
        removeCommonPrefix - boolean that modifies the behavior of the STARTING_DIRECTORIES pattern, removing the common prefix of all initially specified directories, leaving the remainder of each filename as the target value.
