Class ActionSignatureParser

java.lang.Object

net.sf.tweety.action.signature.parser.ActionSignatureParser

public class ActionSignatureParser
extends Object

This class implements a parser for signatures of action descriptions. The BNF for such signatures is given by: (starting symbol is SIG)

SIG ::== (SORTSDEC | DECLAR)*
SORTSDEC ::== ( SORTNAME "=" "{" (CONSTANTNAME ("," CONSTANTNAME)*)? "}" "\n" )*
DECLAR ::== (ACTIONDEC | FLUENTDEC)*
ACTIONDEC ::== "action" "(" ACTIONNAME ("(" SORTNAME ("," SORTNAME)* ")")? ")" "\n"
FLUENTDEC ::== "fluent" "(" FLUENTNAME ("(" SORTNAME ("," SORTNAME)* ")")? ")" "\n"

where SORTNAME, ACTIONNAME, FLUENTNAME, CONSTANTNAME are sequences of
symbols from {a,...,z,A,...,Z,0,...,9} with a letter at the beginning.

Parameters:

filename - the name of a file

Returns:

a formula

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - if the file is not found

IOException - if IO fails

net.sf.tweety.commons.ParserException - some parsing exceptions may be added here.

parseSignature

                               throws IOException,
                                      net.sf.tweety.commons.ParserException

Parses the given text into a signature of the given type.

Parameters:

text - a string

Returns:

a formula

parseSortDeclaration

protected void parseSortDeclaration(String s)
                             throws net.sf.tweety.commons.ParserException

Parses a sort declaration of the form "SORTNAME "=" "{" (CONSTANTNAME ("," CONSTANTNAME)*)? "}"" and adds it to the signature.

Parameters:

s - a string

Throws:

parseTypeDeclaration

protected void parseTypeDeclaration(String s)
                             throws net.sf.tweety.commons.ParserException

Parses an action declaration of the form "action" "(" ACTIONNAME ("(" SORTNAME ("," SORTNAME)* ")")? ")" or a fluent declaration of the form "fluent" "(" FLUENTNAME ("(" SORTNAME ("," SORTNAME)* ")")? ")" and adds them to the signature.

Parameters:

s - a string

Throws:

net.sf.tweety.commons.ParserException - if parsing fails
