Note that this array is not copied. If its contents are changed while this stream is being read, those changes will be reflected in the chars supplied to the reader. Please use caution in changing the contents of the buffer while this stream is open.
buffer
- The char array buffer this stream will read from.public CharArrayReader(char[] buffer, int offset, int length)
offset
in the array for a length of
length
chars past offset
. If the
stream is reset to a position before offset
then
more than length
chars can be read from the stream.
The length
value should be viewed as the array index
one greater than the last position in the buffer to read.
Note that this array is not copied. If its contents are changed while this stream is being read, those changes will be reflected in the chars supplied to the reader. Please use caution in changing the contents of the buffer while this stream is open.

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
readlimit
parameter in this
method does nothing as this stream is always capable of
remembering all the chars int it.
Note that in this class the mark position is set by default to position 0 in the stream. This is in constrast to some other stream types where there is no default mark position.

remember.IOException

functionality.
true
to indicate that this class supports
mark/reset.public int read()
pos
counter is advanced to the next char to be read. The char read
is returned as an int in the range of 0-65535. If the stream
position is already at the end of the buffer, no char is read and
a -1 is returned in order to indicate the end of the stream.
public int read(char[] b, int off, int len)
offset
into the buffer and attempts to read
len
chars. This method can return before reading
the number of chars requested if the end of the stream is
encountered first. The actual number of chars read is returned.
If no chars can be read because the stream is already at the end
of stream position, a -1 is returned.
This method does not block.

true

pos
variable equal to the
mark
variable. Since a mark can be set anywhere in
the array, the mark/reset methods int this class can be used to
provide random search capabilities for this type of stream.
public long skip(long n)
pos
value by the
specified number of chars. It this would exceed the length of the
buffer, then only enough chars are skipped to position the stream at
the end of the buffer. The actual number of chars skipped is returned.
n
- The requested number of chars to skip
