public AbstractLineTokenizer()
```
- Method Detail
  - setStrict
```
public void setStrict(boolean strict)
```
    Public setter for the strict flag. If true (the default) then number of tokens in line must match the number of tokens defined (by Range, columns, etc.) in LineTokenizer. If false then lines with less tokens will be tolerated and padded with empty columns, and lines with more tokens will simply be truncated.
    Parameters:
    strict - the strict flag to set
  - isStrict
```
protected boolean isStrict()
```
    Provides access to the strict flag for subclasses if needed.
    Returns:
    the strict flag value
  - setFieldSetFactory
```
public void setFieldSetFactory(FieldSetFactory fieldSetFactory)
```
    Factory for FieldSet instances. Can be injected by clients to customize the default number and date formats.
    Parameters:
    fieldSetFactory - the FieldSetFactory to set
  - setNames
```
public void setNames(java.lang.String... names)
```
    Setter for column names. Optional, but if set, then all lines must have as many or fewer tokens.
    Parameters:
    names - names of each column
  - hasNames
```
public boolean hasNames()
```
    Returns:
    true if column names have been specified
    See Also:
    setNames(String[])
  - tokenize
```
public FieldSet tokenize(java.lang.String line)
```
    Yields the tokens resulting from the splitting of the supplied line.
    Specified by:
    tokenize in interface LineTokenizer
    Parameters:
    line - the line to be tokenized (can be null)
    Returns:
    the resulting tokens
  - doTokenize
```
protected abstract java.util.List<java.lang.String> doTokenize(java.lang.String line)
```
