Interface ISequencePattern<E>

Type Parameters:

E - is the type of the elements of the sequences a ISequencePattern selects.

All Known Implementing Classes:

SequencePattern

public interface ISequencePattern<E>

A ISequencePattern is a pattern for sequences. -The sequences of a ISequencePattern must have a defined length. -The elements of the sequences of a ISequencePattern must fulfill the element conditions of the ISequencePattern. -The sequences of a ISequencePattern must fulfill all sequence conditions of the ISequencePattern.

Method Details

withBlankForNext

ISequencePattern<E> withBlankForNext()

Returns:

a new ISequencePattern from the current ISequencePattern with a blank condition for the next element of the sequences of the ISequencePattern.

withConditionForNext

ISequencePattern<E> withConditionForNext(Predicate<E> condition)

Parameters:

condition -

Returns:

a new ISequencePattern from the current ISequencePattern with the given condition for the next element of the sequences of the ISequencePattern.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if the given condition is null.

withConditionsForNexts

ISequencePattern<E> withConditionsForNexts(IContainer<Predicate<E>> conditions)

Parameters:

conditions -

Returns:

a new ISequencePattern from the current ISequencePattern with the given conditions for the next elements of the sequences of the ISequencePattern.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if the given condition is null.

RuntimeException - if one of the given conditions is null.

withSequenceCondition

ISequencePattern<E> withSequenceCondition(Predicate<IContainer<E>> sequenceCondition)

Adds the given sequenceCondition to the current ISequencePattern.

Parameters:

sequenceCondition -

Returns:

a new ISequencePattern from the current ISequencePattern with the given sequenceCondition for the sequences the ISequencePattern.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if the given sequenceCondition is null.

forNext

ISequencePatternNextMediator<E> forNext(int count)

Parameters:

count -

Returns:

a new ISequencePatternNextMediator for the current ISequencePattern and the given count.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if the given count is negative.

getMatchingSequencesFrom

IContainer<? extends IContainer<E>> getMatchingSequencesFrom(IContainer<E> container)

Parameters:

container -

Returns:

all sequences from the given container that match the current ISequencePattern.
