Method Summary

static void	discardBetween(java.io.Reader source, java.lang.StringBuffer destination, java.lang.String startTag, java.lang.String endTag) Convienence method simply calls saveUntil, then discardUntil, then saveToEnd Puts everything EXCEPT what is in between the startTag and the endTag into the destination.
static void	discardUntil(java.io.Reader source, java.lang.String tag) Reads the passed Reader up until the first instance of tag is found, discarding the chars.
static void	saveBetween(java.io.Reader source, java.lang.StringBuffer destination, java.lang.String startTag, java.lang.String endTag) Convienence method simply calls discardUntil and then saveUntil Puts the text from the source that is in between the 2 tags into the destination. NOTE: Does not put the startTag into the destination, but DOES put the endTag in the destination. If the startTag not found, will read the source to the end. If the startTag found but no endTag, will read the source to the end, and return the destination with everything after the startTag inside it.
static void	saveToEnd(java.io.Reader source, java.lang.StringBuffer destination) Simply dumps the source into the destination.
static void	saveUntil(java.io.Reader source, java.lang.StringBuffer destination, java.lang.String tag) Reads the source and passes the contents into the destination until the tag is reached.

saveUntil

public static void saveUntil(java.io.Reader source,
                             java.lang.StringBuffer destination,
                             java.lang.String tag)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Reads the source and passes the contents into the destination until the tag is reached. NOTE: passes the tag into the destination.

saveBetween

public static void saveBetween(java.io.Reader source,
                               java.lang.StringBuffer destination,
                               java.lang.String startTag,
                               java.lang.String endTag)
                        throws java.io.IOException

Convienence method simply calls discardUntil and then saveUntil

discardBetween

public static void discardBetween(java.io.Reader source,
                                  java.lang.StringBuffer destination,
                                  java.lang.String startTag,
                                  java.lang.String endTag)
                           throws java.io.IOException
