@Deprecated
public class Reader
extends Source

This actor reads tokens from an URL, and output them. Each entry in the file corresponds to one iteration. If there are multiple fires in the iteration, the same token will be repeated. This actor has a multiport, where each port corresponds to one column in the data file.

The file format at the URL is assumed as the following. A newline character separates the rows, and a tab or a space character separates the columns.

The sourceURL parameter should be set to the name of the file, specified as a fully qualified URL. If the sourceURL parameter is an empty string, then the System.in is used for input. It is possible to load a file from the local file system by using the prefix "file://" instead of "http://". Relative file paths are allowed. To specify a file relative to the current directory, use "../" or "./". For example, if the current directory contains a file called "test.txt", then sourceURL should be set to "file:./test.txt". If the parent directory contains a file called "test.txt", then sourceURL should be set to "file:../test.txt". To reference the file test.txt, located at "/tmp/test.txt", sourceURL should be set to "file:///tmp/test.txt" The default value is "file:///tmp/test.txt".

FIXME: The type of the output ports is set to Double for now. It should read a line in the prefire() and refer the type from there.

FIXME: Reader should read in expressions and serialized tokens

Field Detail

sourceURL

public Parameter sourceURL

Deprecated.

The URL of the file to read from. This parameter contains a StringToken. By default, it contains an empty string, which is interpreted to mean that input should be directed to the standard input. FIXME: Should this bring up a dialog box to type (or select) a URL?

refresh

public Parameter refresh

Deprecated.

Refresh between each readings. Default is false.

Constructor Detail

Reader

public Reader(CompositeEntity container,
              java.lang.String name)
       throws IllegalActionException,
              NameDuplicationException

Deprecated.

Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail
