## Class PatternMatchingCompositeLineTokenizer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.batch.item.file.transform.PatternMatchingCompositeLineTokenizer

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    LineTokenizer, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

      public class PatternMatchingCompositeLineTokenizer
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements LineTokenizer, org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

  A `LineTokenizer` implementation that stores a mapping of String patterns to delegate `LineTokenizer`s. Each line tokenized will be checked to see if it matches a pattern. If the line matches a key in the map of delegates, then the corresponding delegate `LineTokenizer` will be used. Patterns are sorted starting with the most specific, and the first match succeeds.
