Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
IGNORE_CAPITALIZATION	Converts to all lower case.
IGNORE_NEWLINE_DIFFERENCES	Convert all MS-DOS (CRLF, "\r\n") and Mac (CR, "\r") line termination sequences to Unix-style (LF, "\n") termination sequences.
IGNORE_PUNCTUATION	Strips all punctuation characters (that is, characters that are not letters, numbers, connecting punctuation like "_", or white space).
IGNORE_SPACING_DIFFERENCES	Same as IGNORE_NEWLINE_DIFFERENCES, but also converts all non-empty sequences of white space characters (except newlines) to single spaces, and trims any leading or trailing white space from every line.
IGNORE_TRAILING_NEWLINES	Trims any sequence of trailing line termination sequences (regardless of OS).
OPT_IGNORE_ALL_WHITESPACE	Removes all white space except line termination sequences (from any OS).
OPT_IGNORE_ALL_WHITESPACE_AND_NEWLINES	Removes all white space of any kind, including newlines of any kind.
OPT_IGNORE_BLANK_LINES	Removes any blank lines.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static StringNormalizer.StandardRule	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static StringNormalizer.StandardRule[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Method Detail

values

public static StringNormalizer.StandardRule[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (StringNormalizer.StandardRule c : StringNormalizer.StandardRule.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static StringNormalizer.StandardRule valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
