22.14.21

public int nextToken() throws IOException

If the previous token was pushed back ( 22.14.22), then the value of

ttype

 is

returned, effectively causing that same token to be reread.

Otherwise, this method parses the next token in the contained input stream.

The type of the token is returned; this same value is also made available in the

ttype

 field, and related data may be made available in the

sval

 and

nval

 fields.

First, whitespace characters are skipped, except that if a line terminator is

encountered and this

StreamTokenizer

 is currently recognizing line terminators,

then the type of the token is

TT_EOL

.

If a numeric character is encountered, then an attempt is made to recognize a

number. If the first character is

 and the next character is not numeric, then the

 is considered to be an ordinary character and is recognized as a token in its

own right. Otherwise, a number is parsed, stopping before the next occurrence of

, the second occurrence of

 . 

, the first nonnumeric character encountered, or

end of file, whichever comes first. The type of the token is

TT_NUMBER

 and its

value is made available in the field

nval

.
