Constructor Detail

BibtexParser

public BibtexParser(boolean throwAllParseExceptions)

Creates a new BibTexParser.

Parameters:

throwAllParseExceptions - Setting this to true means that all exceptions will be thrown immediately. Otherwise, the parser will skip over things it can't parse and you can use getExceptions() to retrieve the exceptions later.

Method Detail

getExceptions

public ParseException[] getExceptions()

Returns the list of non-fatal exceptions that occurred during parsing. Usually, these occur while parsing an entry. Usually, the remainder of the entry will be treated as part of a comment - thus the following entry will be parsed again.

Returns:

An array of ParseExceptions.

parse

public void parse(BibtexFile bibtexFile,
                  Reader input)
           throws ParseException,
                  IOException

Parses the input into bibtexFile - don't forget to check getExceptions() afterwards (if you don't use throwAllParseExceptions which you can configure in the constructor)...

Parameters:

bibtexFile - The Java representation of the file.

input - The reader that is used for reading from the file.

Throws:

ParseException - If an entry couldn't be parsed. This exception won't be thrown if throwAllParseExceptions was disabled within the constructor.

IOException - If another error occurs while reading.
