Detailed Description
The BreakIteratorFilter is used to modify the behavior of a BreakIterator by constructing a new BreakIterator which suppresses certain segment boundaries.
See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-general.html#Segmentation_Exceptions . For example, a typical English Sentence Break Iterator would break on the space in the string "Mr. Smith" (resulting in two segments), but with "Mr." as an exception, a filtered break iterator would consider the string "Mr. Smith" to be a single segment.

Member Function Documentation
◆ build()
|
pure virtual |
This function has been deprecated in favor of wrapIteratorWithFilter() The behavior is identical.
- Parameters
-
adoptBreakIterator the break iterator to adopt status error code
- Returns
- the new BreakIterator, owned by the caller.
- Deprecated:
- ICU 60 use wrapIteratorWithFilter() instead
- See also
- wrapBreakIteratorWithFilter()
◆ createEmptyInstance()
|
static |
Construct an empty FilteredBreakIteratorBuilder.
In this state, it will not suppress any segment boundaries.
- Parameters
-
status The error code.
- Returns
- the new builder
- Stable:
- ICU 60
◆ createInstance() [1/2]
|
static |
Construct a FilteredBreakIteratorBuilder based on rules in a locale.
The rules are taken from CLDR exception data for the locale, see http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-general.html#Segmentation_Exceptions This is the equivalent of calling createInstance(UErrorCode&) and then repeatedly calling addNoBreakAfter(...) with the contents of the CLDR exception data.
- Parameters
-
where the locale. status The error code.
- Returns
- the new builder
- Stable:
- ICU 56
◆ createInstance() [2/2]
|
static |
This function has been deprecated in favor of createEmptyInstance, which has identical behavior.
- Parameters
-
status The error code.
- Returns
- the new builder
- Deprecated:
- ICU 60 use createEmptyInstance instead
- See also
- createEmptyInstance()
◆ suppressBreakAfter()
|
pure virtual |
Suppress a certain string from being the end of a segment.
For example, suppressing "Mr.", then segments ending in "Mr." will not be returned by the iterator.
- Parameters
-
string the string to suppress, such as "Mr." status error code
- Returns
- returns TRUE if the string was not present and now added, FALSE if the call was a no-op because the string was already being suppressed.
- Stable:
- ICU 56
◆ unsuppressBreakAfter()
|
pure virtual |
Stop suppressing a certain string from being the end of the segment.
This function does not create any new segment boundaries, but only serves to un-do the effect of earlier calls to suppressBreakAfter, or to un-do the effect of locale data which may be suppressing certain strings.
- Parameters
-
string the exception to remove status error code
- Returns
- returns TRUE if the string was present and now removed, FALSE if the call was a no-op because the string was not being suppressed.
- Stable:
- ICU 56
◆ wrapIteratorWithFilter()
|
inline |
Wrap (adopt) an existing break iterator in a new filtered instance.
The resulting BreakIterator is owned by the caller. The BreakIteratorFilter may be destroyed before the BreakIterator is destroyed. Note that the adoptBreakIterator is adopted by the new BreakIterator and should no longer be used by the caller. The FilteredBreakIteratorBuilder may be reused. This function is an alias for build()
- Parameters
-
adoptBreakIterator the break iterator to adopt status error code
- Returns
- the new BreakIterator, owned by the caller.
