Class ReflectionStringSplitter

java.lang.Object

com.tridion.smarttarget.tcdl.renderers.ReflectionStringSplitter

public class ReflectionStringSplitter
extends Object

This class can be used to split a String so it can be used to evaluate a variable. It splits on a '.' character, excluding the dots it finds in an indexer. Some examples it must be able to handle: company.departments[] company.departments[0].title company.departments["legal"].title company.departments['finance'].title company.departments['some indexer with a ] closing bracket'].title company.departments['some indexer with a \' escaped single quote'].title company.departments["some indexer with a \" escaped double quote"].title company.departments['some indexer with a \[ escaped opening bracket'].title company.departments[currentDepartment].title company.departments[currentDepartment.title].employees.size company.departments[company.departments[0]].employees.size company.departments[company.departments[].[0]].employees.size company.departments[company.departments["tessie\]\'\"\\\"\\\\"].[0]].employees.size

The logic comes down to finding all '.' characters, while skipping when they're part of an indexer. Keep track of the indexers by testing for open and closing brackets, while skipping when we're in between quotes. Test for escaping of quotes, no need to check for escaping of brackets.
