public class SaveFrameNode
extends StarNode
implements Cloneable
A SaveFrameNode contains the contents of a STAR file saveframe. It has a name, available through "getLabel()" and "setLabel()". This name must have a prefix of "save_". A SaveFrameNode behaves like a vector (it implements StarVectorLike) that can contain DataItemNodes and DataLoopNodes.

 o searchByName
 public VectorCheckType searchByName(String searchFor)
Given a tag name, find the AST object it resides in. It returns a reference to the lowest level AST object that the tag resides in. The caller needs to use the type-aware features of Java to discover what the object's type really is.

The search for names is case-insensitive.

Parameters:
searchFor - - Look for this string as the tag name.
Overrides:
searchByName in class StarNode
 o searchByTagValue
 public VectorCheckType searchByTagValue(String tag,
                                         String value)
Given a tag name and a value, find the AST object that that particular tag and value pair resides in. This is like performing an SQL search: WHERE tag = value.

Only searches starting at the node it was called from, and its children. Recurses downward, but does not recurse upward. This function is only capable of returning one answer, so it cannot be called at the same levels where searchByTag() can be called (see above).

The search for tag names is case-insensitive.

The search for values, however is case-sensitive.

Parameters:
tag - - Look for this tag...
value - - Where it has this value.
Returns:
A java.util.vector containing the matching StarNodes. This vector will have a size of zero if there are no matches.
Overrides:
searchByTagValue in class StarNode
 o searchForType
 public VectorCheckType searchForType(Class type,
                                      short delim)
This method returns a vector of all the nodes of the given type. It is much like searchByName() in that it heirarchically walks the STAR tree and calls the searchForType() functions of the subtrees within the tree. In this way it is possible to call this function at any level of the STAR file.

The second parameter is optional and is only useful when you are searching for DataValueNodes. It determines the kind of DataValueNode you are searching for, by delimiter type. For example, you could search for only those DataValueNodes that are semicolon-delimited by passing DataValueNode::SEMICOLON as the second argument. Or you could look for just framecodes by passing DataValueNode::FRAMECODE as the second parameter. Passing a negative number says you want all the DataValueNodes, regardless of their delimiter type.

If the search is for some StarNode other than DataValueNode, then it is irrelevant what the second parameter of this function is, as it will never be used - You can just leave it off and accept the default.

Parameters:
type - - type to search for
delim - - DataValueNode::ValType to look for. Set to DataValueNode.DONT_CARE if it doesn't matter.
Returns:
A java.util.vector containing the matching StarNodes. This vector will have a size of zero if there are no matches.
Overrides:
searchForType in class StarNode
 o Unparse
 public void Unparse(int indent)
Unparse prints the contents of the StarNode object out to the given stream. This is essentially the inverse of the CS term to "parse", hence the name "Unparse". The parameter given is the indentation level to print things.

Overrides:
Unparse in class StarNode
