Class TagNodeCount

  • public class TagNodeCount
extends java.lang.Object
    TagNodeCount 🠞
    1. TagNode: This implies that only HTML TagNode's will be used for searching. The field TagNode.tok field is used as a search criteria. This public, final String field contains the name of the HTML Element - for instance, 'div', 'p', 'span', 'img', etc...

      InnerTag's - (a.k.a. 'attributes') - are not part of the search.

    2. Count: This implies that the method will count the number of matches that are found, and return that count/number as a integer.
    Counts the number HTML-Tags inside of Vectorized-HTML which match a user-provided search based on the Tag's Name and whether the Tag is an Opening or Closing Tag.

    Methods Available

    Method Explanation
    all (...) Returns a count of all HTMLNode elements in the HTML Vector that meet the criteria.
    allExcept (...) Returns a count of all HTMLNode elements in the HTML Vector that do not meet the criteria.

    Method Parameters

    Parameter Explanation
    Vector<? extends HTMLNode> html This represents any vectorized HTML page, sub-page, or list of partial-elements.
    int nth This represents the 'nth' match of a comparison for-loop. When the method-signature used includes the parameter 'nth' , the first n-1 matches that are found - will be skipped, and the 'nth' match is, instead, returned.

    EXCEPTIONS: An NException shall throw if the value of parameter 'nth' is zero, negative, or larger than the size of the input html-Vector.
    int sPos, int ePos When these parameters are present, only HTMLNode's that are found between the specified Vector indices will be considered for matching with the search criteria.

    NOTE: In every situation where the parameters int sPos, int ePos are used, parameter 'ePos' will accept a negative value, but parameter 'sPos' will not. When 'ePos' is passed a negative-value, the internal LV ('Loop Variable Counter') will have its public final int end; field set to the length of the vectorized-html page that was passed. (html.size() of parameter Vector<HTMLNode> html).

    EXCEPTIONS: An IndexOutOfBoundsException will be thrown if:

    • If sPos is negative, or if sPos is greater-than or equal-to the size of the input Vector
    • If ePos is zero, or greater than the size of the input Vector.
    • If sPos is a larger integer than ePos
    TC tagCriteria The three values of enumeration TC are: TC.OpeningTags, TC.ClosingTags and TC.Both. These values specify a search-criteria result set for an HTML TagNode. There are two types of HTML Elements:

    • "opening versions" of the HTML-tag such as: <A HREF="...">
    • "closing versions" of the element such as: </A>.

    NOTE: If parameter 'tagCriteria' is passed a value of TC.Both, then (and this is hopefully obvious), that both 'opening' and 'closing' versions of the tag will be considered to meet / match the search criteria.
    String... htmlTags When this parameter is present, only HTMLNode's which are both instances of class TagNode *and* whose TagNode.tok field String-value matches (is equal to) at least one of the elements in this VarArgs String parameter-set will be considered for a match.

    COMMON EXAMPLES: Some common examples of valid htmlTags are: a, div, img, table, tr, meta as well as all other valid HTML element-tokens.

    NOTE: This comparison is performed using a case-insensitive compare-method

    EXCEPTIONS: If even one of the elements in this parameter-set is an invalid HTML token, an HTMLTokException will be thrown.

    Return Values:

    1. int returns a count of how many TagNode's were identified on the vectorized-page parameter 'html' that whose HTML Element Tag's matched specified criteria



    Stateless Class:
    This class neither contains any program-state, nor can it be instantiated. The @StaticFunctional Annotation may also be called 'The Spaghetti Report'. Static-Functional classes are, essentially, C-Styled Files, without any constructors or non-static member fields. It is a concept very similar to the Java-Bean's @Stateless Annotation.

    • 1 Constructor(s), 1 declared private, zero-argument constructor
