Method Detail

match

public 
IRegion match(
IDocument doc,
                     int offset)
Description copied from interface: ICharacterPairMatcher
Starting at the given offset, the matcher chooses a character close to this offset. The matcher then searches for the matching peer character of the chosen character and if it finds one, returns the minimal region of the document that contains both characters. It returns null if there is no peer character.

Specified by:
match in interface ICharacterPairMatcher
Parameters:
doc - the document to work on
offset - the start offset
Returns:
the minimal region containing the peer characters

getAnchor

public int getAnchor()
Description copied from interface: ICharacterPairMatcher
Returns the anchor for the region of the matching peer characters. The anchor says whether the character that has been chosen to search for its peer character has been left or right of the initial offset.

Specified by:
getAnchor in interface ICharacterPairMatcher
Returns:
RIGHT or LEFT

dispose

public void dispose()
Description copied from interface: ICharacterPairMatcher
Disposes this pair matcher.

Specified by:
dispose in interface ICharacterPairMatcher

clear

public void clear()
Description copied from interface: ICharacterPairMatcher
Clears this pair matcher. I.e. the matcher throws away all state it might remember and prepares itself for a new call of the match method.

Specified by:
clear in interface ICharacterPairMatcher
