public class ASCIIFileWriter

extends FileWriter

Processor for saving individual sets to plain ASCII files. This processor performs a toString() on each individual in the collection. Everytime the write() method is invoked the collection is written to a different file. A set written to an ASCII file cannot be restored from that file.

Field Detail

genotypeSurpressed

protected boolean genotypeSurpressed

Indicator if printing of genetic representation should be surpressed. The default value is false.

Constructor Detail

ASCIIFileWriter

public ASCIIFileWriter()

Constructor.

ASCIIFileWriter

public ASCIIFileWriter(java.lang.String body,
                       java.lang.String suffix)

Constructor with filename body and suffix.

Parameters:

body - body of filename to write to

suffix - suffix to be used

Method Detail

write

public void write(IIndividualSet set)

Saves the individual collection to a file. The collection is saved to a file named <filename body>_<identifier>.<suffix>. The identifier is generated automatically to prevent overwriting old files. The default suffix is .txt.

Parameters:

set - individual set to be saved

isGenotypeSurpressed

public boolean isGenotypeSurpressed()

Checks if the printing of the genotype will be surpressed.

Returns:

true if printing is surpressed false instead

setGenotypeSurpressed

public void setGenotypeSurpressed(boolean b)

Sets a flag to surpress the printing of the genotype.

Parameters:

b - flag if genotype printing should be surpressed
