Module: MARC4J4R

Defined in:

lib/marc4j4r.rb

Constant Summary

NEWINIT = A string used to override the initializer for each stream reader Need to do it this ugly way because of the way java and ruby interact; can’t just add it to the MarcReader interface the way I wanted to.

"alias_method :oldinit, :initialize\ndef initialize(fromwhere)\nstream = nil\nif fromwhere.is_a? Java::JavaIO::InputStream\nstream = fromwhere\nelsif fromwhere.is_a? IO\nstream = fromwhere.to_inputstream\nelse\nstream = java.io.FileInputStream.new(fromwhere.to_java_string)\nend\nif self.class == Java::org.marc4j.MarcPermissiveStreamReader\nself.oldinit(stream, true, true)\nelse\nself.oldinit(stream)\nend\nend\n"

Instance Method Summary

• - (MarcReader) reader(input, type = :strictmarc) Get a marc reader of the appropriate type.

 reader = MARC4J4R.reader('test.mrc')

 reader = MARC4J4R.reader('test.mrc', :permissivemarc)

 reader = MARC4J4R.reader('test.xml', :marcxml)

  require 'open-uri'
  infile = open('http://my.machine.com/test.mrc')
  reader = MARC4J4R.reader(infile)
