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 System.in:


     Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
     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.

  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.

  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

- reset
  
  public Scanner reset()
  Resets this scanner.
  Resetting a scanner discards all of its explicit state information which may have been changed by invocations of useDelimiter(), useLocale(), or useRadix().
  An invocation of this method of the form scanner.reset() behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

  Returns:
  
  this scanner
  
  Since:
  
  1.6
- 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
  
  Since:
  
  9
- 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
