UnicodeSet.SpanCondition

Argument values for whether span() and similar functions continue while the current character is contained vs. not contained in the set.

The functionality is straightforward for sets with only single code points, without strings (which is the common case):

When a set contains multi-code point strings, then these statements may not be true, depending on the strings in the set (for example, whether they overlap with each other) and the string that is processed. For a set with strings: Note: If it is important to get the same boundaries whether iterating forward or backward through a string, then either only span() should be used and the boundaries cached for backward operation, or an ICU BreakIterator could be used.

Note: Unpaired surrogates are treated like surrogate code points. Similarly, set strings match only on code point boundaries, never in the middle of a surrogate pair.

Summary

Enum values

UnicodeSet.SpanCondition  CONDITION_COUNT

One more than the last span condition. 

UnicodeSet.SpanCondition  CONTAINED

Spans the longest substring that is a concatenation of set elements (characters or strings). 

UnicodeSet.SpanCondition  NOT_CONTAINED

Continues a span() while there is no set element at the current position. 

UnicodeSet.SpanCondition  SIMPLE

Continues a span() while there is a set element at the current position.

CONDITION_COUNT

UnicodeSet.SpanCondition CONDITION_COUNT

One more than the last span condition.

CONTAINED

Added in API level 24
UnicodeSet.SpanCondition CONTAINED

Spans the longest substring that is a concatenation of set elements (characters or strings). (For characters only, this is like while contains(current)==true).

When span() returns, the substring between where it started and the position it returned consists only of set elements (characters or strings) that are in the set.

If a set contains strings, then the span will be the longest substring for which there exists at least one non-overlapping concatenation of set elements (characters or strings). This is equivalent to a POSIX regular expression for (OR of each set element)*. (Java/ICU/Perl regex stops at the first match of an OR.)

NOT_CONTAINED

Added in API level 24
UnicodeSet.SpanCondition NOT_CONTAINED

Continues a span() while there is no set element at the current position. Increments by one code point at a time. Stops before the first set element (character or string). (For code points only, this is like while contains(current)==false).

When span() returns, the substring between where it started and the position it returned consists only of characters that are not in the set, and none of its strings overlap with the span.

SIMPLE

Added in API level 24
UnicodeSet.SpanCondition SIMPLE

Continues a span() while there is a set element at the current position. Increments by the longest matching element at each position. (For characters only, this is like while contains(current)==true).

When span() returns, the substring between where it started and the position it returned consists only of set elements (characters or strings) that are in the set.

If a set only contains single characters, then this is the same as CONTAINED.

If a set contains strings, then the span will be the longest substring with a match at each position with the longest single set element (character or string).

Use this span condition together with other longest-match algorithms, such as ICU converters (ucnv_getUnicodeSet()).
