CountMethod
class CountMethod
Options for replaceFrom and countIn to control how to treat each matched span. It is similar to whether one is replacing [abc] by x, or [abc]* by x.
Summary
| Enum values |
|
Use the smallest number of elements in the spanned range for counting and modification, based on the UnicodeSet.SpanCondition.
|
|
Collapse spans.

Enum values
MIN_ELEMENTS
enum val MIN_ELEMENTS : UnicodeSetSpanner.CountMethod
Use the smallest number of elements in the spanned range for counting and modification, based on the UnicodeSet.SpanCondition. If the set has no strings, this will be the same as the number of spanned code points.
For example, in the string "abab" with SpanCondition.SIMPLE:
- spanning with [ab] will count four MIN_ELEMENTS.
- spanning with [{ab}] will count two MIN_ELEMENTS.
- spanning with [ab{ab}] will also count two MIN_ELEMENTS.
WHOLE_SPAN
enum val WHOLE_SPAN : UnicodeSetSpanner.CountMethod
Collapse spans. That is, modify/count the entire matching span as a single item, instead of separate set elements.
