Class ArgString

java.lang.Object
  cz.cuni.amis.pogamut.shady.ArgString

All Implemented Interfaces:

IArgument<String>

public class ArgString
extends Object

Store the string value as an argument. We want to allow escaping (e.g. \n, \t ..) and we are using syntax defined by the (java lexical structure).

The constructor won't automatically unescape the passed value. Use ArgString#parseStringLiteral(java.lang.StringBuilder) .
