Class CsvIterator

java.lang.Object
  cc.mallet.pipe.iterator.CsvIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Iterator<Instance>

public class CsvIterator
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Iterator<Instance>

This iterator, perhaps more properly called a Line Pattern Iterator, reads through a file and returns one instance per line, based on a regular expression.

If you have data of the form

[name]  [label]  [data]

and a Pipe instancePipe, you could read instances using this code:

    InstanceList instances = new InstanceList(instancePipe);

    instances.addThruPipe(new CsvIterator(new FileReader(dataFile),
                                          "(\\w+)\\s+(\\w+)\\s+(.*)",
                                          3, 2, 1)  // (data, target, name) field indices                    
                         );
