pub.io:skip
WmPublic. Skips over and discards the specified number of bytes or characters from the input stream or a reader object.
Input Parameters
stream
java.io.InputStream Optional. The InputStream.
Note:
You can use either stream or reader to specify the input object. If both stream and reader input parameters are provided, then the stream and reader object data will be skipped.
reader
java.io.Reader Optional. The reader object.
length
String The number of bytes or characters to skip.
Output Parameters
stream
java.io.InputStream Conditional. The InputStream. Returned only if the input parameter is stream.
reader
java.io.Reader Conditional. The reader object. Returned only if the input parameter is reader.
bytesSkipped
String Conditional. The actual number of bytes that were skipped. Returned only if the input parameter is stream.
charactersSkipped
String Conditional. The number of characters that were skipped. Returned only if the input parameter is reader.
Usage Notes
Thepub.io:skip service uses the uses the Java methodInputStream.skip, which might skip some smaller number of bytes, possibly zero (0). This happens due to conditions such as reaching the end of file before n bytes have been skipped. For more information about the InputStream.skip method, see the Java documentation on the InputStream class.
Either of the optional input parameters, stream or reader, is required.
If both stream and reader input parameters are specified and if an exception occurs during the stream object usage, then the operations are not performed on the reader object also.
