generateBaseFileName

@Deprecated
public static int generateBaseFileName(java.lang.String baseName,
                                                   java.lang.String runType,
                                                   java.lang.StringBuilder newNameBuilder)
                                            throws EvioException

Deprecated. This method is being replace by a newer version generateBaseFileNameNew(String, String, StringBuilder) which returns additional information.

This method generates part of a file name given a base file name as an argument.

The base file name may contain up to 2, C-style integer format specifiers (such as %03d, or %x). If more than 2 are found, an exception will be thrown. If no "0" precedes any integer between the "%" and the "d" or "x" of the format specifier, it will be added automatically in order to avoid spaces in the returned string. In the generateFileName(String, int, int, long, int, int, int) method, the first occurrence will be substituted with the given runNumber value. If the file is being split, the second will be substituted with the split number.

The base file name may contain characters of the form $(ENV_VAR) which will be substituted with the value of the associated environmental variable or a blank string if none is found.

Finally, the base file name may contain occurrences of the string "%s" which will be substituted with the value of the runType arg or nothing if the runType is null.

Parameters:

baseName - file name to start with

runType - run type/configuration name

newNameBuilder - object which contains generated base file name

Returns:

number of C-style int format specifiers found in baseName arg

Throws:

EvioException - if baseName arg is improperly formatted; if baseName or newNameBuilder arg is null

generateBaseFileNameNew

public static int[] generateBaseFileNameNew(java.lang.String baseName,
                                            java.lang.String runType,
                                            java.lang.StringBuilder newNameBuilder)
                                     throws EvioException

This method generates part of a file name given a base file name as an argument.

The base file name may contain up to 2, C-style integer format specifiers (such as %03d, or %x). If more than 2 are found, an exception will be thrown. If no "0" precedes any integer between the "%" and the "d" or "x" of the format specifier, it will be added automatically in order to avoid spaces in the returned string. In the generateFileName(String, int, int, long, int, int, int) method, the first occurrence will be substituted with the given runNumber value. If the file is being split, the second will be substituted with the split number.

The base file name may contain characters of the form $(ENV_VAR) which will be substituted with the value of the associated environmental variable or a blank string if none is found.

Finally, the base file name may contain occurrences of the string "%s" which will be substituted with the value of the runType arg or nothing if the runType is null.

Parameters:

baseName - file name to start with

runType - run type/configuration name

newNameBuilder - object which contains generated base file name

Returns:

int array containing number of C-style int format specifiers found in baseName arg.

Throws:

EvioException - if baseName arg is improperly formatted; if baseName or newNameBuilder arg is null

generateFileName

public static java.lang.String generateFileName(java.lang.String fileName,
                                                int specifierCount,
                                                int runNumber,
                                                long split,
                                                int splitNumber,
                                                int streamId,
                                                int streamCount)
                                         throws java.util.IllegalFormatException

This method generates a complete file name from the previously determined baseFileName obtained from calling generateBaseFileName(String, String, StringBuilder). If evio data is to be split up into multiple files (split > 0), numbers are used to distinguish between the split files with splitNumber. If baseFileName contains C-style int format specifiers (specifierCount > 0), then the first occurrence will be substituted with the given runNumber value. If the file is being split, the second will be substituted with the splitNumber. If there are multiple streams, the third will be substituted with the stream id.

If no specifier for the splitNumber exists, it is tacked onto the end of the file name. If no specifier for the stream id exists, it is tacked onto the end of the file name, after the splitNumber. No run numbers are ever tacked on without a specifier.

For splitting: if there is only 1 stream, no stream ids are used and any third specifier is removed. For non-splitting: if there is only 1 stream, no stream ids are used and any second and third specifiers are removed. For multiple streams, the second specifier is removed and the 3rd substituted with the stream id. For all cases: if there are more than 3 specifiers, NO SUBSTITUTIONS ARE DONE. This is because an error would be thrown in the String.format() method.

Parameters:

fileName - file name to use as a basis for the generated file name

specifierCount - number of C-style int format specifiers in baseFileName arg

runNumber - CODA run number

split - number of bytes at which to split off evio file

splitNumber - number of the split file

streamId - number of the stream id

streamCount - total number of streams

Returns:

generated file name

Throws:

java.util.IllegalFormatException - if the baseFileName arg contains printing format specifiers which are not compatible with integers and interfere with formatting
