TBLReader (PULsE 1.98 API)

java.lang.Object
- pulse.io.readers.TBLReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

AbstractHandler, AbstractReader<InterpolationDataset>, DatasetReader, Reflexive
```
public class TBLReader
extends Object
implements DatasetReader
```
A DatasetReader capable of reading .tbl files.
The format of these files is simply two tab-delimited numeric column. The first column represents the 'keys', and the second -- the corresponding 'values'.

Specific heat capacity and density at different temperatures can be read as ASCII files with a .tbl suffix, where the first column is temperature (in degrees Celsius) and the second column is the specific heat capacity (in J kg^-1 K^-1) or density (in kg m^-3).

Below is an example of a valid .tbl file:
```
 
 -273   11000.00
 0      10959.84
 50     10943.82
 100    10927.80
 150    10911.77
 200    10895.73
 250    10879.67
 300    10863.56
 350    10847.41
 400    10831.21
 450    10814.93
 500    10798.58
 550    10782.14
 
 
```

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static DatasetReader`	`getInstance()`	As this class is built using a singleton pattern, only one instance exists.
`String`	`getSupportedExtension()`	Retrieves the supported extension of files, which this `AbstractHandler` is able to process.
`InterpolationDataset`	`read(File file)`	Reads through a `file` with `.tbl extension`, converting each row into an `ImmutableDataEntry<Double,Double>`, which is then added to a newly created `InterpolationDataset`.

- Method Detail
  - getSupportedExtension
```
public String getSupportedExtension()
```
    Description copied from interface: AbstractHandler
    
    Retrieves the supported extension of files, which this AbstractHandler is able to process.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSupportedExtension in interface AbstractHandler
    
    Returns:
    
    a String equal to 'tbl'
  - getInstance
```
public static DatasetReader getInstance()
```
    As this class is built using a singleton pattern, only one instance exists.
    
    Returns:
    
    the static instance of this class
  - read
```
public InterpolationDataset read(File file)
                          throws IOException
```
    Reads through a file with .tbl extension, converting each row into an ImmutableDataEntry<Double,Double>, which is then added to a newly created InterpolationDataset. Upon completion, the doInterpolation() method of InterpolationDataset is invoked.
    
    Specified by:
    
    read in interface AbstractReader<InterpolationDataset>
    
    Specified by:
    
    read in interface DatasetReader
    
    Parameters:
    
    file - a File with tbl extension
    
    Returns:
    
    an InterpolationDataset, which not only stores the information contained in file, but also provides means of interpolation.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if something goes wrong with reading the file
