Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

StrFile [-iorsx] [-c char] sourcefile [outputfile] StrFile reads a file containing groups of lines separated by a line containing a single percent `%' sign (or other specified delimiter character) and creates a data file which contains a header structure and a table of file offsets for each group of lines. This allows random access of the strings.

Parameters:

-i - ignore case

-o - Order the strings in alphabetical order.

-r - Randomize access to the strings.

-s - Run silently; don't give a summary message when finished.

-x - Note that each alphabetic character in the groups of lines is rotated 13 positions in a simple caesar cypher.

-c - "char" Change the delimiting character from the percent sign to char.

sourcefile - ignore case

outputfile - The output file, if not specified on the command line, is named sourcefile.dat.
