```java
public void defineVar(java.lang.String name, 
                      java.lang.String specifier) 
               throws PHXNameAlreadyInUseException,

### parse

```java
public void parse() throws java.lang.Exception

```

Parse the output file

**Specified by:**

- `parse` in interface [`OutputFile2`](OutputFile2.md)

**Throws:**

- `java.lang.Exception`

### newParser

```java
protected Parser newParser(java.io.File rFile, 
                           Parser.Mode pmode) 
                    throws java.io.IOException

```

Generate a new parser for the given file and mode

**Specified by:**

- `newParser` in class [`AbstractFile`](AbstractFile.md)

**Parameters:**

- `rFile` - The file to open
- `pmode` - caching mode for underlying parser

**Throws:**

- `java.io.IOException`

### transferVars

```java
protected void transferVars(ParseableFile.Mode mode) 
                     throws java.io.IOException, 
                            com.phoenix_int.aserver.util.PHXInvalidFormatException, 
                            PHXNoSuchTokenException, 
                            java.lang.IllegalAccessException,

- `java.io.IOException`
- `com.phoenix_int.aserver.util.PHXInvalidFormatException`
