    Detailed Description

    Line reader for a vCalendar or vCard parser.

    Reads in a line at a time for the parser.

    Also allows the first character of the next line to be checked to see if it is a space, which can indicate that the line is wrapped. This enables the reading of multi-line property values.

    Used by CVersitParser to internalise streams.

    Member Attribute Documentation

    iBufPtr

    TPtr8 iBufPtr

    A pointer to a buffer which stores data read from the stream.

    Its size on construction is EInitialLineSize, and it is expanded by EExpandSize when necessary.

    A copy of this value should not be stored, since the buffer location may change if the buffer is expanded.

    Data in the buffer is not lost when the buffer is expanded, but is copied to the new location.

    iFirstCharNextLine

    TInt iFirstCharNextLine[protected]

    iLineBuf

    HBufC8 *iLineBuf[protected]

    iReadStream

    RReadStream *iReadStream

    A pointer to an RReadStream object, the ReadUint8L() function of which is used to read single characters from the stream.

    This is passed into the NewL() function upon construction.

    Member Enumeration Documentation

    Enum anonymous

    Defines the initial line size of, and the size of expansions to, the buffer which stores the line being read.

    EnumeratorValueDescription
    EInitialLineSize96

    The initial size of the buffer (pointed to by iBuf).

    EExpandSize16

    The size by which the buffer (pointed to by iBuf) is expanded when it has run out of room.

    Enum anonymous

    Defines values which describe the content of a line that has been read.

    This is the return value from the function ReadLine().

    EnumeratorValueDescription
    ELineHasContent0

    The line has content (not white space).

    ELineIsWhiteSpace1

    The line has white space only.

    ELineIsCRLFOnly2

    The line has no content, and so is just a carriage return and line feed ("/r/n").

    ELineHasColon

    The line has a colon This is only used internally. When the line has a colon, ReadLineL will return ELineHasContent for the sake of backwards compatibility.

    Constructor & Destructor Documentation

    CLineReader ( RReadStream & )

    CLineReader(RReadStream &aStream)[protected, inline]

    ~CLineReader ( )

    IMPORT_C~CLineReader()

    Frees all resources owned by the line reader prior to its destruction.

    Member Function Documentation

    AppendLineIfSpaceNextL ( )

    IMPORT_C TBoolAppendLineIfSpaceNextL()

    Checks the first character of the next line and, if it is a white space, reads the next line into the buffer (pointed to by iBufPtr).

    The line is appended to the buffer rather than overwriting data already in the buffer.

    A plug-in option can determine that no space is to be written to the buffer between the lines. By default, a space will be written.

    Used by the Versit parser while it is reading multi-line property values.

    Returns: ETrue if a line was read (because the first character of the next line is a space); EFalse if a line wasn't read (because the first character of the next line isn't a space or an error occured).

    AppendSpaceL ( )

    IMPORT_C TIntAppendSpaceL()

    Appends a space to the end of the buffer (pointed to by iBufPtr).

    The buffer will be expanded if necessary.

    This is called by AppendLineIfSpaceNextL() to create a space in the buffer between the lines being read (as long as there is no plug-in option to to indicate there should be no space).

    ConstructL ( )

    IMPORT_C voidConstructL()[protected]

    ExpandBufferL ( TInt )

    IMPORT_C voidExpandBufferL(TIntaCurrentSize)[protected]

    IsSpaceNextL ( )

    IMPORT_C TBoolIsSpaceNextL()

    Checks to see if the first character of the next line is white space.

    This function should not be called more than once without a line being read in.

    Used by the Versit parser while it is reading multi-line property values.

    Returns: ETrue if the next line starts with a white space character; EFalse if it doesn't or an error occurs.

    NewL ( RReadStream & )

    IMPORT_C CLineReader *NewL(RReadStream &aStream)[static]

    Constructs and returns a CLineReader.

    ParameterDescription
    aStreamThe stream to read the lines from.

    ReadBase64ValueL ( TInt )

    voidReadBase64ValueL(TIntaPopValueStart)

    Read base64 multiple lines

    This should be only called when parsing multi-line base64 data, and the interface MVersitPlugInExtensionBase64Ending::BlankLineAndLeadingSpaceNotRequired returns ETrue

    If the character ':' is not contained in the current line,we know it is base64 value.It is therefore appended to iBufPtr. Otherwise we know it is a new property which will be held in CLineReaderExtension::iLineBase64Value temporarily until the next propery is to be parsed.

    ParameterDescription
    aPopValueStartThe position in the iLineBuffer where base64 value starts

    ReadChar ( TInt & )

    IMPORT_C TUint8ReadChar(TInt &aErr)[protected]

    ReadLineL ( TInt, TInt & )

    IMPORT_C TIntReadLineL(TIntaPos,
    TInt &aErr
    )[virtual]

    Reads in a line from the stream.

    The line is stored in a buffer pointed to by iBufPtr. Data from the stream is appended to the buffer, starting at buffer position aPos, until the next 'CRLF' ("/r/n") is reached. The line feed and carriage return are not added to the buffer. Using only linefeeds LF() as the line delimiters is also supported.

    The buffer will be expanded if necessary to fit the line into it.

    If the end of stream is reached, aErr will contain KErrEof upon return.

    It would be normal to set aPos to the start of the buffer unless reading a multi-line value.

    ParameterDescription
    aPosThe position in the buffer pointed to by iBufPtr at which to begin appending data to the buffer. Allows lines to be appended to the buffer when reading multi-line values.
    aErrOn return, this will be KErrEof if the end of the stream is reached and KErrNone otherwise.

    Returns: ELineHasContent if the line has content; ELineIsWhiteSpace if the line has only white space before the CRLF; ELineIsCRLFOnly if the line is only a CRLF.

    SetPlugIn ( MVersitPlugIn * )

    voidSetPlugIn(MVersitPlugIn *aPlugIn)[inline]

    Sets the plug-in.

    Allows implemented functions of the MVersitPlugIn class to be used in specifying options for adding and deleting spaces to/from the buffer.

    Specifically, the plug-in is used to determine whether an additional space should be added when appending a line to the buffer (by default a space will be added), and whether the white space at the start of a line should form part of the data (by default it will not form part of the data).

    Using a plug-in is optional.

    ParameterDescription
    aPlugInA pointer to an MVersitPlugIn instance.

    SetSkipWhiteSpaceAtStart ( TBool )
