getEscapeChar

public char getEscapeChar()

Returns the character used for escaping special characters in TSV inputs: \t, \n, \r and \

Returns:

the escape character.

getEscapedTabChar

public char getEscapedTabChar()

Returns the character that should be used to represent an escaped tab, i.e. the character before the defined getEscapeChar(). For example, if getEscapeChar() == '\\' and == 'X', the sequence '\X' will identify a tab. Defaults to 't'.

Returns:

the character following the getEscapeChar() that represents an escaped tab.

setEscapedTabChar

public void setEscapedTabChar(char escapedTabChar)

Defines the character that should be used to represent an escaped tab, i.e. the character before the defined getEscapeChar(). For example, if getEscapeChar() == '\\' and == 'X', the sequence '\X' will identify a tab. Defaults to 't'.

Parameters:

escapedTabChar - the character following the getEscapeChar() that represents an escaped tab.

isEscapeChar

public boolean isEscapeChar(char ch)

Identifies whether or not a given character is used for escaping special characters in TSV (\t, \n, \r and \).

Parameters:

ch - the character to be verified

Returns:

true if the given character is escape character, false otherwise
