Along similar lines to what cdc is doing - you can extend PrintWriter
and then create and pass around an instance of this new class.
Call getArchive()
to get a copy of the data that's passed through the writer.
public class ArchiveWriter extends PrintWriter {
private StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder();
public ArchiveWriter(Writer out) {
super(out);
}
public ArchiveWriter(Writer out, boolean autoFlush) {
super(out, autoFlush);
}
public ArchiveWriter(OutputStream out) {
super(out);
}
public ArchiveWriter(OutputStream out, boolean autoFlush) {
super(out, autoFlush);
}
public ArchiveWriter(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException {
super(fileName);
}
public ArchiveWriter(String fileName, String csn) throws FileNotFoundException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
super(fileName, csn);
}
public ArchiveWriter(File file) throws FileNotFoundException {
super(file);
}
public ArchiveWriter(File file, String csn) throws FileNotFoundException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
super(file, csn);
}
@Override
public void write(char[] cbuf, int off, int len) {
super.write(cbuf, off,len);
data.append(cbuf, off, len);
}
@Override
public void write(String s, int off, int len) {
super.write(s, off,len);
data.append(s, off, len);
}
public String getArchive() {
return data.toString();
}
}
