void	match(int start, int end, Object handback) Notifies the MatchConsumer about a successful match in the CharSequenceMatcher provided to the CharSequenceMatcher.findMatches(CharSequence, MatchConsumer) and has the ability to add a handback object.

Method Detail

match

void match(int start,
           int end)

Notifies the MatchConsumer about a successful match in the CharSequenceMatcher provided to the CharSequenceMatcher.findMatches(CharSequence, MatchConsumer). The start and end indexes have to be in the following form:

• start: The start index of the first character matched. That means that a sequence found from index 5 to index 6, the value of start will be 5
• end: The end index of the last character matched plus 1. That means that a sequence found from index 5 to index 6, the value of start will be 7

Parameters:

start - the index of the first character matched

end - the index after the last character matched

match

void match(int start,
           int end,
           Object handback)

Notifies the MatchConsumer about a successful match in the CharSequenceMatcher provided to the CharSequenceMatcher.findMatches(CharSequence, MatchConsumer) and has the ability to add a handback object. The details of the start and end indexes are specified at the match(int, int) method.
The handback object will not be interpreted in any manner and simply passed through the processing to Result.getHandback()

Parameters:

start - the index of the first character matched

end - the index after the last character matched

handback - a handback object of any type and value.
