Constructor Detail

### ContainsSelector

    public ContainsSelector()

  Creates a new `ContainsSelector` instance.

Method Detail

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Description copied from class: `DataType`
  Basic DataType toString().

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `DataType`
  Returns:
    a string describing this object

### setText

    public void setText(java.lang.String contains)

  The string to search for within a file.

  Parameters:
    `contains` - the string that a file must contain to be selected.

### setCasesensitive

    public void setCasesensitive(boolean casesensitive)

  Whether to ignore case in the string being searched.

  Parameters:
    `casesensitive` - whether to pay attention to case sensitivity

### setIgnorewhitespace

    public void setIgnorewhitespace(boolean ignorewhitespace)

  Whether to ignore whitespace in the string being searched.

  Parameters:
    `ignorewhitespace` - whether to ignore any whitespace (spaces, tabs, etc.) in the searchstring

### setParameters

    public void setParameters(Parameter[] parameters)

  When using this as a custom selector, this method will be called. It translates each parameter into the appropriate setXXX() call.

  Specified by:
    `setParameters` in interface `Parameterizable`
  Overrides:
    `setParameters` in class `BaseExtendSelector`
  Parameters:
    `parameters` - the complete set of parameters for this selector

### verifySettings

    public void verifySettings()

  Checks to make sure all settings are kosher. In this case, it means that the pattern attribute has been set.

  Overrides:
    `verifySettings` in class `BaseSelector`

### isSelected

    public boolean isSelected(java.io.File basedir,
                              java.lang.String filename,
                              java.io.File file)

  Specified by:
    `isSelected` in interface `FileSelector`
  Specified by:
    `isSelected` in class `BaseExtendSelector`
  Parameters:
    `basedir` - the base directory the scan is being done from
    `filename` - is the name of the file to check
    `file` - is a java.io.File object the selector can use

    whether the file should be selected or not

### isSelected

    public boolean isSelected(Resource r)

  The heart of the matter. This is where the selector gets to decide on the inclusion of a Resource.

  Specified by:

  Parameters:
    `r` - the Resource to check.
  Returns:
    whether the Resource is selected.
