  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Yylex

          Yylex(InputStream in)

      Creates a new scanner. There is also java.io.Reader version of this constructor.
      Parameters:
        `in` - the java.io.Inputstream to read input from.

    - #### Yylex

          Yylex(Reader in)

      Creates a new scanner There is also a java.io.InputStream version of this constructor.
      Parameters:
        `in` - the java.io.Reader to read input from.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getPosition

          int getPosition()

    - #### yybegin

          public final void yybegin(int newState)

      Enters a new lexical state
      Parameters:
        `newState` - the new lexical state

    - #### yycharat

          public final char yycharat(int pos)

      Returns the character at position `pos` from the matched text. It is equivalent to yytext().charAt(pos), but faster
      Parameters:
        `pos` - the position of the character to fetch. A value from 0 to yylength()-1.
      Returns:
        the character at position pos

    - #### yyclose

          public final void yyclose()
                             throws IOException

      Closes the input stream.
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### yylength

          public final int yylength()

      Returns the length of the matched text region.

    - #### yylex

          public Yytoken yylex()
                        throws IOException,
                               DeserializationException

      Resumes scanning until the next regular expression is matched, the end of input is encountered or an I/O-Error occurs.
      Returns:
        the next token
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if any I/O-Error occurs
        `DeserializationException`

    - #### yypushback

          public void yypushback(int number)

      Pushes the specified amount of characters back into the input stream. They will be read again by then next call of the scanning method
      Parameters:
        `number` - the number of characters to be read again. This number must not be greater than yylength()!

    - #### yyreset

          public final void yyreset(Reader reader)

      Resets the scanner to read from a new input stream. Does not close the old reader. All internal variables are reset, the old input stream cannot be reused (internal buffer is discarded and lost). Lexical state is set to `ZZ_INITIAL`.
      Parameters:
        `reader` - the new input stream

    - #### yystate

          public final int yystate()

      Returns the current lexical state.

    - #### yytext

          public final String yytext()

      Returns the text matched by the current regular expression.
