Hi G.Long, You can use TrimFilter+LengthFilter to remove empty/whitespace tokens.

Sometimes, all characters of the token are removed so the filter procudes an empty token. I would like to remove this token from the tokenstream but i'm not sure how to do that. Is there something missing in my custom token filter or do I need to chain another custom token filter to remove empty tokens? Regards :) ps: this is the code of my custom filter : public class SpecialCharFilter extends TokenFilter { private final CharTermAttribute termAtt = addAttribute(CharTermAttribute.class); protected SpecialCharFilter(TokenStream input) { super(input); } @Override public boolean incrementToken() throws IOException { if (!input.incrementToken()) { return false; } final char[] buffer = termAtt.buffer(); final int length = termAtt.length(); final char[] newBuffer = new char[length]; int newIndex = 0; for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { if (!isFilteredChar(buffer[i])) { newBuffer[newIndex] = buffer[i]; newIndex++; } } String term = new String(newBuffer); term = term.trim(); char[] characters = term.toCharArray(); termAtt.setEmpty(); termAtt.copyBuffer(characters, 0, characters.length); return true; } } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
