# Class Scanner

java.lang.Object
java.util.Scanner

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `AutoCloseable`, `Iterator<String>`

public final class Scanner extends Object implements Iterator<String>, Closeable
A simple text scanner which can parse primitive types and strings using regular expressions.

A `Scanner` breaks its input into tokens using a delimiter pattern, which by default matches whitespace. The resulting tokens may then be converted into values of different types using the various `next` methods.

For example, this code allows a user to read a number from the console.

        var con = System.console();
        if (con != null) {
            Scanner sc = new Scanner(con.reader());
            int i = sc.nextInt();
        }

As another example, this code allows `long` types to be assigned from entries in a file `myNumbers`:

         Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("myNumbers"));
         while (sc.hasNextLong()) {
             long aLong = sc.nextLong();
         }

The scanner can also use delimiters other than whitespace. This example reads several items in from a string:

        String input = "1 fish 2 fish red fish blue fish";
        Scanner s = new Scanner(input).useDelimiter("\\s*fish\\s*");
        System.out.println(s.nextInt());
        System.out.println(s.nextInt());
        System.out.println(s.next());
        System.out.println(s.next());
        s.close();

prints the following output:

>          1
>          2
>          red
>          blue

The same output can be generated with this code, which uses a regular expression to parse all four tokens at once:

        String input = "1 fish 2 fish red fish blue fish";
        Scanner s = new Scanner(input);
        s.findInLine("(\\d+) fish (\\d+) fish (\\w+) fish (\\w+)");
        MatchResult result = s.match();
        for (int i=1; i<=result.groupCount(); i++)
            System.out.println(result.group(i));
        s.close();

The default whitespace delimiter used by a scanner is as recognized by `Character.isWhitespace()`. The `reset()` method will reset the value of the scanner's delimiter to the default whitespace delimiter regardless of whether it was previously changed.

A scanning operation may block waiting for input.

The `next()` and `hasNext()` methods and their companion methods (such as `nextInt()` and `hasNextInt()`) first skip any input that matches the delimiter pattern, and then attempt to return the next token. Both `hasNext()` and `next()` methods may block waiting for further input. Whether a `hasNext()` method blocks has no connection to whether or not its associated `next()` method will block. The `tokens()` method may also block waiting for input.

The `findInLine()`, `findWithinHorizon()`, `skip()`, and `findAll()` methods operate independently of the delimiter pattern. These methods will attempt to match the specified pattern with no regard to delimiters in the input and thus can be used in special circumstances where delimiters are not relevant. These methods may block waiting for more input.

When a scanner throws an `InputMismatchException`, the scanner will not pass the token that caused the exception, so that it may be retrieved or skipped via some other method.

Depending upon the type of delimiting pattern, empty tokens may be returned. For example, the pattern `"\\s+"` will return no empty tokens since it matches multiple instances of the delimiter. The delimiting pattern `"\\s"` could return empty tokens since it only passes one space at a time.

A scanner can read text from any object which implements the `Readable` interface. If an invocation of the underlying readable's `read()` method throws an `IOException` then the scanner assumes that the end of the input has been reached. The most recent `IOException` thrown by the underlying readable can be retrieved via the `ioException()` method.

When a `Scanner` is closed, it will close its input source if the source implements the `Closeable` interface.

A `Scanner` is not safe for multithreaded use without external synchronization.

Unless otherwise mentioned, passing a `null` parameter into any method of a `Scanner` will cause a `NullPointerException` to be thrown.

A scanner will default to interpreting numbers as decimal unless a different radix has been set by using the `useRadix(int)` method. The `reset()` method will reset the value of the scanner's radix to `10` regardless of whether it was previously changed.

## Localized numbers

An instance of this class is capable of scanning numbers in the standard formats as well as in the formats of the scanner's locale. A scanner's initial locale is the value returned by the `Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.FORMAT)` method; it may be changed via the `useLocale()` method. The `reset()` method will reset the value of the scanner's locale to the initial locale regardless of whether it was previously changed.

The localized formats are defined in terms of the following parameters, which for a particular locale are taken from that locale's `DecimalFormat` object, `df`, and its and `DecimalFormatSymbols` object, `dfs`.

> LocalGroupSeparator
>   The character used to separate thousands groups, i.e., `dfs.``getGroupingSeparator()`
> LocalDecimalSeparator
>   The character used for the decimal point, i.e., `dfs.``getDecimalSeparator()`
> LocalPositivePrefix
>   The string that appears before a positive number (may be empty), i.e., `df.``getPositivePrefix()`
> LocalPositiveSuffix
>   The string that appears after a positive number (may be empty), i.e., `df.``getPositiveSuffix()`
> LocalNegativePrefix
>   The string that appears before a negative number (may be empty), i.e., `df.``getNegativePrefix()`
> LocalNegativeSuffix
>   The string that appears after a negative number (may be empty), i.e., `df.``getNegativeSuffix()`
> LocalNaN
>   The string that represents not-a-number for floating-point values, i.e., `dfs.``getNaN()`
> LocalInfinity
>   The string that represents infinity for floating-point values, i.e., `dfs.``getInfinity()`

### Number syntax

The strings that can be parsed as numbers by an instance of this class are specified in terms of the following regular-expression grammar, where Rmax is the highest digit in the radix being used (for example, Rmax is 9 in base 10).

NonAsciiDigit:
  A non-ASCII character c for which `Character.isDigit``(c)` returns true
Non0Digit:
  `[1-`Rmax`] |` NonASCIIDigit
Digit:
  `[0-`Rmax`] |` NonASCIIDigit
GroupedNumeral:
  `(` Non0Digit Digit`?` Digit`?`
  `(` LocalGroupSeparator Digit Digit Digit`)+ )`
Numeral:
  `( (` Digit`+ ) |` GroupedNumeral`)`
Integer:
  `( [-+]? (` Numeral`) )`
  `|` LocalPositivePrefix Numeral LocalPositiveSuffix
  `|` LocalNegativePrefix Numeral LocalNegativeSuffix
DecimalNumeral:
  Numeral
  `|` Numeral LocalDecimalSeparator Digit`*`
  `|` LocalDecimalSeparator Digit`+`
Exponent:
  `( [eE] [+-]?` Digit`+ )`
Decimal:
  `( [-+]?` DecimalNumeral Exponent`? )`
  `|` LocalPositivePrefix DecimalNumeral LocalPositiveSuffix Exponent`?`
  `|` LocalNegativePrefix DecimalNumeral LocalNegativeSuffix Exponent`?`
HexFloat:
  `[-+]? 0[xX][0-9a-fA-F]*\.[0-9a-fA-F]+ ([pP][-+]?[0-9]+)?`
NonNumber:
  `NaN |` LocalNan`| Infinity |` LocalInfinity
SignedNonNumber:
  `( [-+]?` NonNumber`)`
  `|` LocalPositivePrefix NonNumber LocalPositiveSuffix
  `|` LocalNegativePrefix NonNumber LocalNegativeSuffix
Float:
  Decimal `|` HexFloat `|` SignedNonNumber

Whitespace is not significant in the above regular expressions.

    An invocation of this method of the form `useDelimiter(pattern)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation `useDelimiter(Pattern.compile(pattern))`.

    Invoking the `reset()` method will set the scanner's delimiter to the default.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - A string specifying a delimiting pattern
    Returns:
      this scanner

    public Scanner useLocale(Locale locale)
    Sets this scanner's locale to the specified locale.

    A scanner's locale affects many elements of its default primitive matching regular expressions; see localized numbers above.

    Invoking the `reset()` method will set the scanner's locale to the initial locale.

    Parameters:
      `locale` - A string specifying the locale to use
    Returns:
      this scanner

  - ### radix

    public int radix()

    Sets this scanner's default radix to the specified radix.

    A scanner's radix affects elements of its default number matching regular expressions; see localized numbers above.

    If the radix is less than `Character.MIN_RADIX` or greater than `Character.MAX_RADIX`, then an `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown.

    Invoking the `reset()` method will set the scanner's radix to `10`.

    Parameters:
      `radix` - The radix to use when scanning numbers
    Returns:
      this scanner
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if radix is out of range

  - ### match

    public MatchResult match()
    Returns the match result of the last scanning operation performed by this scanner. This method throws `IllegalStateException` if no match has been performed, or if the last match was not successful.

    The various `next` methods of `Scanner` make a match result available if they complete without throwing an exception. For instance, after an invocation of the `nextInt()` method that returned an int, this method returns a `MatchResult` for the search of the Integer regular expression defined above. Similarly the `findInLine()`, `findWithinHorizon()`, and `skip()` methods will make a match available if they succeed.

    Returns:
      a match result for the last match operation
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - If no match result is available

  - ### toString

    public String toString()

    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `Object`
    Returns:
      The string representation of this scanner

  - ### hasNext

    public boolean hasNext()
    Returns true if this scanner has another token in its input. This method may block while waiting for input to scan. The scanner does not advance past any input.
    Specified by:
      `hasNext` in interface `Iterator<String>`
    Returns:
      true if and only if this scanner has another token
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed
    See Also:
      - `Iterator`

  - ### next

    public String next()
    Finds and returns the next complete token from this scanner. A complete token is preceded and followed by input that matches the delimiter pattern. This method may block while waiting for input to scan, even if a previous invocation of `hasNext()` returned `true`.
    Specified by:
      `next` in interface `Iterator<String>`
    Returns:
      the next token

  - ### hasNext

    public boolean hasNext(String pattern)
    Returns true if the next token matches the pattern constructed from the specified string. The scanner does not advance past any input.

    An invocation of this method of the form `hasNext(pattern)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation `hasNext(Pattern.compile(pattern))`.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - a string specifying the pattern to scan
    Returns:
      true if and only if this scanner has another token matching the specified pattern
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### next

    public String next(String pattern)
    Returns the next token if it matches the pattern constructed from the specified string. If the match is successful, the scanner advances past the input that matched the pattern.

    An invocation of this method of the form `next(pattern)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation `next(Pattern.compile(pattern))`.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - a string specifying the pattern to scan
    Returns:
      the next token
    Throws:
      `NoSuchElementException` - if no such tokens are available
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### hasNext

    public boolean hasNext(Pattern pattern)
    Returns true if the next complete token matches the specified pattern. A complete token is prefixed and postfixed by input that matches the delimiter pattern. This method may block while waiting for input. The scanner does not advance past any input.
    Parameters:
      `pattern` - the pattern to scan for
    Returns:
      true if and only if this scanner has another token matching the specified pattern
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### next

    public String next(Pattern pattern)
    Returns the next token if it matches the specified pattern. This method may block while waiting for input to scan, even if a previous invocation of `hasNext(Pattern)` returned `true`. If the match is successful, the scanner advances past the input that matched the pattern.
    Parameters:
      `pattern` - the pattern to scan for
    Returns:
      the next token
    Throws:
      `NoSuchElementException` - if no more tokens are available
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### hasNextLine

    public boolean hasNextLine()
    Returns true if there is another line in the input of this scanner. This method may block while waiting for input. The scanner does not advance past any input.
    Returns:
      true if there is a line separator in the remaining input or if the input has other remaining characters
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### nextLine

    public String nextLine()
    Advances this scanner past the current line and returns the input that was skipped. This method returns the rest of the current line, excluding any line separator at the end. The position is set to the beginning of the next line.

    Since this method continues to search through the input looking for a line separator, it may buffer all of the input searching for the line to skip if no line separators are present.

    Returns:
      the line that was skipped
    Throws:
      `NoSuchElementException` - if no line was found
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### findInLine

    public String findInLine(String pattern)
    Attempts to find the next occurrence of a pattern constructed from the specified string, ignoring delimiters.

    An invocation of this method of the form `findInLine(pattern)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation `findInLine(Pattern.compile(pattern))`.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - a string specifying the pattern to search for
    Returns:
      the text that matched the specified pattern
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### findInLine

    public String findInLine(Pattern pattern)
    Attempts to find the next occurrence of the specified pattern ignoring delimiters. If the pattern is found before the next line separator, the scanner advances past the input that matched and returns the string that matched the pattern. If no such pattern is detected in the input up to the next line separator, then `null` is returned and the scanner's position is unchanged. This method may block waiting for input that matches the pattern.

    Since this method continues to search through the input looking for the specified pattern, it may buffer all of the input searching for the desired token if no line separators are present.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - the pattern to scan for
    Returns:
      the text that matched the specified pattern
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### findWithinHorizon

    public String findWithinHorizon(String pattern, int horizon)
    Attempts to find the next occurrence of a pattern constructed from the specified string, ignoring delimiters.

    An invocation of this method of the form `findWithinHorizon(pattern)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation `findWithinHorizon(Pattern.compile(pattern), horizon)`.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - a string specifying the pattern to search for
      `horizon` - the search horizon
    Returns:
      the text that matched the specified pattern
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if horizon is negative

  - ### findWithinHorizon

    public String findWithinHorizon(Pattern pattern, int horizon)
    Attempts to find the next occurrence of the specified pattern.

    This method searches through the input up to the specified search horizon, ignoring delimiters. If the pattern is found the scanner advances past the input that matched and returns the string that matched the pattern. If no such pattern is detected then the null is returned and the scanner's position remains unchanged. This method may block waiting for input that matches the pattern.

    A scanner will never search more than `horizon` code points beyond its current position. Note that a match may be clipped by the horizon; that is, an arbitrary match result may have been different if the horizon had been larger. The scanner treats the horizon as a transparent, non-anchoring bound (see `Matcher.useTransparentBounds(boolean)` and `Matcher.useAnchoringBounds(boolean)`).

    If horizon is `0`, then the horizon is ignored and this method continues to search through the input looking for the specified pattern without bound. In this case it may buffer all of the input searching for the pattern.

    If horizon is negative, then an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - the pattern to scan for
      `horizon` - the search horizon
    Returns:
      the text that matched the specified pattern
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if horizon is negative

  - ### skip

    public Scanner skip(Pattern pattern)
    Skips input that matches the specified pattern, ignoring delimiters. This method will skip input if an anchored match of the specified pattern succeeds.

    If a match to the specified pattern is not found at the current position, then no input is skipped and a `NoSuchElementException` is thrown.

    Since this method seeks to match the specified pattern starting at the scanner's current position, patterns that can match a lot of input (".*", for example) may cause the scanner to buffer a large amount of input.

    Note that it is possible to skip something without risking a `NoSuchElementException` by using a pattern that can match nothing, e.g., `sc.skip("[ \t]*")`.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - a string specifying the pattern to skip over
    Returns:
      this scanner
    Throws:
      `NoSuchElementException` - if the specified pattern is not found
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### skip

    public Scanner skip(String pattern)
    Skips input that matches a pattern constructed from the specified string.

    An invocation of this method of the form `skip(pattern)` behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation `skip(Pattern.compile(pattern))`.

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - a string specifying the pattern to skip over
    Returns:
      this scanner
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### tokens

    public Stream<String> tokens()
    Returns a stream of delimiter-separated tokens from this scanner. The stream contains the same tokens that would be returned, starting from this scanner's current state, by calling the `next()` method repeatedly until the `hasNext()` method returns false.

    The resulting stream is sequential and ordered. All stream elements are non-null.

    Scanning starts upon initiation of the terminal stream operation, using the current state of this scanner. Subsequent calls to any methods on this scanner other than `close()` and `ioException()` may return undefined results or may cause undefined effects on the returned stream. The returned stream's source `Spliterator` is fail-fast and will, on a best-effort basis, throw a `ConcurrentModificationException` if any such calls are detected during stream pipeline execution.

    After stream pipeline execution completes, this scanner is left in an indeterminate state and cannot be reused.

    If this scanner contains a resource that must be released, this scanner should be closed, either by calling its `close()` method, or by closing the returned stream. Closing the stream will close the underlying scanner. `IllegalStateException` is thrown if the scanner has been closed when this method is called, or if this scanner is closed during stream pipeline execution.

    This method might block waiting for more input.

    API Note:
      For example, the following code will create a list of comma-delimited tokens from a string:

           List<String> result = new Scanner("abc,def,,ghi")
               .useDelimiter(",")
               .tokens()
               .collect(Collectors.toList());

      The resulting list would contain `"abc"`, `"def"`, the empty string, and `"ghi"`.

    Returns:
      a sequential stream of token strings
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed

  - ### findAll

    public Stream<MatchResult> findAll(Pattern pattern)
    Returns a stream of match results from this scanner. The stream contains the same results in the same order that would be returned by calling `findWithinHorizon(pattern, 0)` and then `match()` successively as long as `findWithinHorizon()` finds matches.

    The resulting stream is sequential and ordered. All stream elements are non-null.

    Scanning starts upon initiation of the terminal stream operation, using the current state of this scanner. Subsequent calls to any methods on this scanner other than `close()` and `ioException()` may return undefined results or may cause undefined effects on the returned stream. The returned stream's source `Spliterator` is fail-fast and will, on a best-effort basis, throw a `ConcurrentModificationException` if any such calls are detected during stream pipeline execution.

    After stream pipeline execution completes, this scanner is left in an indeterminate state and cannot be reused.

    If this scanner contains a resource that must be released, this scanner should be closed, either by calling its `close()` method, or by closing the returned stream. Closing the stream will close the underlying scanner. `IllegalStateException` is thrown if the scanner has been closed when this method is called, or if this scanner is closed during stream pipeline execution.

    As with the `findWithinHorizon()` methods, this method might block waiting for additional input, and it might buffer an unbounded amount of input searching for a match.

    API Note:
      For example, the following code will read a file and return a list of all sequences of characters consisting of seven or more Latin capital letters:

           try (Scanner sc = new Scanner(Path.of("input.txt"))) {
               Pattern pat = Pattern.compile("[A-Z]{7,}");
               List<String> capWords = sc.findAll(pat)
                                         .map(MatchResult::group)
                                         .collect(Collectors.toList());
           }

    Parameters:
      `pattern` - the pattern to be matched
    Returns:
      a sequential stream of match results
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if pattern is null
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed
    Since:
      9

  - ### findAll

    public Stream<MatchResult> findAll(String patString)
    Returns a stream of match results that match the provided pattern string. The effect is equivalent to the following code:

             scanner.findAll(Pattern.compile(patString))

    Parameters:
      `patString` - the pattern string
    Returns:
      a sequential stream of match results
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if patString is null
      `IllegalStateException` - if this scanner is closed
      `PatternSyntaxException` - if the regular expression's syntax is invalid
    Since:
      9
