Class ShortenedYearRangeChecker


  • public class ShortenedYearRangeChecker
    extends RuleFilter
    Checks whether a shortened year range (such as '1998-92') is valid, i.e., that the starting date happens before the end date. The check is trivial: simply check whether the first integer number is smaller than the second, so this can be implemented for any language. The parameters used in the XML file are called 'x' and 'y'.

        Description copied from class: RuleFilter
        Returns the original rule match or a modified one, or null if the rule match is filtered out.
        Specified by:
        acceptRuleMatch in class RuleFilter
        arguments - the resolved argument from the args attribute in the XML. Resolved means that e.g. \1 has been resolved to the actual string at that match position.
        patternTokens - those tokens of the text that correspond the matched pattern
        Returns:
        null if this rule match should be removed, or any other RuleMatch (e.g. the one from the arguments) that properly describes the detected error
