java.lang.Object

ucar.nc2.ParsedArraySectionSpec

public class ParsedArraySectionSpec
extends Object

A String expression for denoting a section of a Variable to be read. Parse a section specification String. These have the form:

  section specification := selector | selector '.' selector
  selector := varName ['(' dims ')']
  varName := ESCAPED_STRING
 

   dims := dim | dim, dims
   dim := ':' | slice | start ':' end | start ':' end ':' stride
   slice := INTEGER
   start := INTEGER
   stride := INTEGER
   end := INTEGER
   ESCAPED_STRING : must escape characters = ".("
 

Nonterminals are in lower case, terminals are in upper case, literals are in single quotes. Optional components are enclosed between square braces '[' and ']'.

ParsedArraySectionSpec

public ParsedArraySectionSpec(Variable variable,
                              Section section)

Method Detail

parseVariableSection

public static ParsedArraySectionSpec parseVariableSection(NetcdfFile ncfile,
                                                          String variableSection)
                                                   throws InvalidRangeException

Parse a section specification String.

Parameters:

ncfile - look for variable in here

variableSection - the string to parse, eg "record(12).wind(1:20,:,3)"

Returns:

return ParsedSectionSpec, parsed representation of the variableSection String

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - when token is misformed, or variable name doesnt exist in ncfile

InvalidRangeException - if section does not match variable shape

makeFromVariable

public static ParsedArraySectionSpec makeFromVariable(Variable v,
                                                      String selector)
                                               throws InvalidRangeException

Throws:

InvalidRangeException

makeSectionSpecString

public static String makeSectionSpecString(Variable v,
                                           @Nullable
                                           Section section)

Make section specification String from a ucar.array.Section for a Variable.

Parameters:

v - for this Variable.

section - list of Range. Must includes all parent structures. May be null, meaning use all. Individual ranges may be null, meaning all for that dimension.

Returns:

section specification String.
