This SAFSTextFileReader class is an external STAF service run by the JSTAF Service Proxy.
The intention is to provide buffered read-only file services for reading text files line-by-line, bookmarking a particular line, and even going back to the beginning of the file.

The TextFileReader service provides the following commands:

• OPEN - open a text file for read operations
• NEXT - return the next line (record) from the file
• PEEK - get the current line (again) without incrementing the line pointer
• MARK - bookmark the file position for any subsequent RESET
• RESET - reset the line pointer to the previous MARK
• BEGIN - reset the line pointer to the beginning of the file
• QUERY - retrieve status information from the file
• CLOSE - close and release resources on the text file
• LIST - list open information for the service instance
• HELP - returns syntax information

1.0 SAFSTextFileReader Service Registration

Each instance of the service must be registered via the STAF Service service.

Example showing comandline registration:

 STAF LOCAL SERVICE ADD SERVICE <servicename> LIBRARY JSTAF /
            EXECUTE org/safs/staf/service/SAFSTextFileReader [PARMS <Parameters>]

 Other examples:

 SERVICE ADD SERVICE FileReader  LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE org/safs/staf/service/TextFileReader

 SERVICE ADD SERVICE StepReader  LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE org/safs/staf/service/TextFileReader PARMS DIR c:\repo\Datapool EXT ".sdd"

 SERVICE ADD SERVICE BenchReader LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE org/safs/staf/service/TextFileReader PARMS DIR "c:\new repo\Datapool\Bench"

 

1.1 Valid Parameters when registering a SAFSTextFileReader service:

1.1.1 DIR <default directory>
If provided, the DIR parameter specifies a default directory to use if the OPEN request provides relative path information or no path information at all. File searches will not use environment PATH information. The OPEN request expects a full filename path, or a path relative to this DIR option.

EX: PARMS DIR "c:\testrepo\Datapool"

If the DIR parameter is not provided, then OPEN requests will not attempt relative path searches. The filename provided to the OPEN request must then be an exact full filepath match or the OPEN request will fail.

1.1.2 EXT <default file extension>
If provided, the EXT parameter specifies a default file extension (suffix) to try if the OPEN request does not find the file as provided. You must include any period (.) if it is to be part of any appended suffix.

EX: PARMS EXT .txt

If the EXT parameter is not provided, then OPEN requests will not attempt the additional file search with the appended extension if the provided filename was not found. The filename provided to the OPEN request must then be an exact filename.ext match or the OPEN request will fail.

2.0 SAFSTextFileReader Commands

Note, there must be a uniquely qualified match for NAME/ID combinations listed below. If the same Process has opened two different files with the same ID from 2 different Handles, then you will have to use HANDLE, instead of NAME.

2.1 OPEN

The OPEN command attempts to open a file for read operations.

Syntax:

OPEN ID < FileID > FILE < Filename > /
[ TRIMLEADING | TRIMTRAILING | TRIMWHITESPACE ] [ SKIPBLANKLINES ] /
[ COMMENTLINE <Prefix> ]... [ NOLINENUMBERS ]

2.1.1 ID is a unique name for this file handling instance.

2.1.2 FILE is the filename of the file to open.
If a default Directory was specified when the service was launched, then the filename can be relative to that directory. Otherwise, the full filepath must be specified.
If a default Extension (Ext) was specified when the service was launched, then the filename can be specified without the extension.

2.1.3 TRIMLEADING, TRIMTRAILING, TRIMWHITESPACE
If provided, the TrimLeading option specifies that each line should be trimmed of leading whitespace only. TrimTrailing specifies that each line should be trimmed of trailing whitespace only. TrimWhitespace specifies that each line should be trimmed of both leading and trailing whitespace.
"Whitespace" is considered to be all control characters below ' '(SPACE).

2.1.4 SKIPBLANKLINES instructs the reader to skip empty lines and lines containing only whitespace. Skipped blank lines are still counted.
"Whitespace" is considered to be all control characters below ' '(SPACE).

2.1.5 COMMENTLINE specifies a substring of 1 or more characters that prefix a line and identify the line as a comment. If COMMENTLINE options are specified, lines that begin with the specified prefix are skipped (though counted) for read operations. You can specify up to 10 COMMENTLINE options and each will separately identify comment lines in the file. The test for a comment line occurs after leading whitespace has been trimmed if TRIMLEADING or TRIMWHITESPACE options have been specified.
"Whitespace" is considered to be all control characters below ' '(SPACE).

2.1.6 NOLINENUMBERS specifies lines read from the file should not be returned with line numbers prefixed.

2.2 NEXT

The NEXT command returns the next available line in the specified file. The text will be trimmed and prefixed with linenumbers according to parameters provided when the file was OPENed. Blank lines and/or comment lines will also be skipped according to OPEN parameters.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] ID < fileID > NEXT

2.2.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the NAME of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.2.2 NAME specifies the name of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.2.3 ID is the unique fileID that was provided when the file was OPENed.

2.3 PEEK

The PEEK command returns (again) the current line without incrementing line pointers. This is the same text that would have been received from the most recent NEXT command. The value returned from PEEK is undefined following a RESET or BEGIN command. Not until the NEXT command will PEEK accurately reflect the last (current) read.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] ID < fileID > PEEK

2.3.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the NAME of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.3.2 NAME specifies the name of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.3.3 ID is the unique fileID that was given provided when the file was OPENed.

2.4 MARK

The MARK command bookmarks the current line number (the start of the next line) for any subsequent RESET. That is: MARK points to the line BEFORE the first line that will be read after a RESET.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] ID < FileID > MARK

2.4.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the NAME of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.4.2 NAME specifies the name of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.4.3 ID is the unique fileID that was given provided when the file was OPENed.

2.5 RESET

The RESET command resets the reader to the previous MARK position. The MARK effectively points to the next line to read, and any "current" line text (such as returned in PEEK) may not be accurate until the NEXT command is performed.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] ID < FileID > RESET

2.5.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the NAME of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.5.2 NAME specifies the name of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.5.3 ID is the unique fileID that was given provided when the file was OPENed.

2.6 BEGIN

The BEGIN command resets the line pointer to the beginning of the file. The pointer is set to read the first line in the file, and any "current" line text (such as returned in PEEK) may not be accurate until that first NEXT read is performed.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] ID < FileID > BEGIN

2.6.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the NAME of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.6.2 NAME specifies the name of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.6.3 ID is the unique fileID that was given provided when the file was OPENed.

2.7 CLOSE

The CLOSE command closes and releases resources for the file.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] ID < FileID > CLOSE

2.7.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the NAME of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.7.2 NAME specifies the name of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.7.3 ID is the unique fileID that was given provided when the file was OPENed.

2.8 QUERY

The QUERY command returns requested information about an open file.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] ID < FileID > QUERY < STATUS | LINEPOINTER | MARKPOINTER | FULLPATH | LASTERROR >

2.8.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the NAME of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.8.2 NAME specifies the name of the process that OPENed the file. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process that OPENed the file. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.8.3 ID is the unique fileID that was given provided when the file was OPENed.

2.8.4 STATUS returns one of "OPEN", "CLOSED", or "EOF". If the "CLOSED" status is returned, that generally means some type of critical failure has occurred. A file that is OPEN or at EOF can still be RESET or sent to the first line with BEGIN.

2.8.5 LINEPOINTER returns the current value of the line pointer. This generally contains the number of the "current" line--the last line read. The first line of a file is line 1.

2.8.6 MARKPOINTER returns the current value of the MARK pointer. If a bookMARK has been set, the pointer contains the line number of the line BEFORE the line that will be read after a RESET. That is, the line number of the line that was just read before the MARK command was performed. This is, effectively, a pointer to the next line. 8^p

2.8.7 FULLPATH is the full path to the file. Due to the OPEN parameters DIR and EXT, the full path to the file may be different than any relative path information that was provided to the OPEN command.

2.8.8 LASTERROR is not yet implemented.

2.9 LIST

The LIST command returns info on each open file for the service.

Syntax:

[ HANDLE < Handle > | NAME < Process > ] LIST

2.9.1 HANDLE specifies the handle of the process to query. You can instead provide the NAME of the process to query. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.9.2 NAME specifies the name of the process to query. You can instead provide the HANDLE of the process to query. If neither is provided then the Handle of the process that originated this request is assumed.

2.10 HELP

The HELP command returns syntax information for the TextFileReader service.

Syntax:
