Method Detail

getData

public java.lang.String[][] getData()
                             throws java.io.IOException,
                                    Project35Exception

get a table of terms from the input file. Rows are distinguished by end-of-line characters. Columns are distinguished by tabs

Returns:

array of terms

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Project35Exception

getData

public java.lang.String[][] getData(java.util.ArrayList textLines)
                             throws Project35Exception

hopefully will replace the other getData method. HeaderRemovalDialog already reads the file once and it probably shouldn't be read twice!

Throws:

Project35Exception

setFile

public void setFile(java.io.File inputFile)

the file to be read

setFirstDataRow

public void setFirstDataRow(int firstRowData)

indicates when the first row of data appears. This is useful when you try to skip past headers
