Constructor Detail

### ExpandProperties

    public ExpandProperties()

  Constructor for "dummy" instances.

See Also:
  `BaseFilterReader.BaseFilterReader()`

### ExpandProperties

    public ExpandProperties(java.io.Reader in)

  Creates a new filtered reader.

Parameters:
  `in` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.

Method Detail

### read

    public final int read()
                   throws java.io.IOException

  Returns the next character in the filtered stream. The original stream is first read in fully, and the Ant properties are expanded. The results of this expansion are then queued so they can be read character-by-character.

  Returns:
    the next character in the resulting stream, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if the underlying stream throws an IOException during reading

### chain

    public final java.io.Reader chain(java.io.Reader rdr)

  Creates a new ExpandProperties filter using the passed in Reader for instantiation.

  Specified by:
    `chain` in interface `ChainableReader`
  Parameters:
    `rdr` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.
  Returns:
    a new filter based on this configuration, but filtering the specified reader
