public class InterpolationFilterReader extends FilterReader
A FilterReader which interpolates keyword values into a character stream. Keywords are recognized when enclosed between starting and ending delimiter strings. The keywords themselves, and their values, are fetched from a Map supplied to the constructor.

When a possible keyword token is recognized (by detecting the starting and ending token delimiters):

  • if the enclosed string is found in the keyword Map, the delimiters and the keyword are effectively replaced by the keyword's value;
  • if the enclosed string is found in the keyword Map, but its value has zero length, then the token (delimiters and keyword) is effectively removed from the character stream;
  • if the enclosed string is not found in the keyword Map, then no substitution is made; the token text is passed through unaltered.
