Class TextUtils

java.lang.Object
com.day.text.TextUtils
public class TextUtils extends Object
Simple text manipulation tasks - these aren't optimized, and are intended primarily to be used by test code. (eg. to compare returned values from functions with the values expected).

  • Method Details

    • removeControlCharacters

      public static String removeControlCharacters(String characters)

    • removeWhitespace

      public static String removeWhitespace(String characters)

    • isTextSimilar

      public static boolean isTextSimilar(String docOne, String docTwo)
      Compare two strings, and determine whether they are approximately "similar" - by this we mean whether they have the same numbers of each character in (barring whitespace). We do this by sorting the strings as a character array and stripping whitespace.

      This will generate false positives on some text - for example anagrams.

      For example, the text "Watch the carthorse" and "Watch the orchestra" will both be converted to "aacceehhhorrstttw" and compared - so they will be identical.

      This method is mostly useful as a simple way of comparing data which can be differently ordered but still functionally equivalent - for example DTDs.

    • noisyIsTextSimilar

      public static boolean noisyIsTextSimilar(String docOne, String docTwo)

    • stripWhitespace

      public String stripWhitespace(String s)
      Remove all whitespace from a string - most useful for test purposes (where you compare two strings, but whitespace isn't syntactically significant)

    • sanitizeForCommunique

      public static String sanitizeForCommunique(String s)
      These are characters not allowed in a text string in a CQ any file - they require escaping.

    • replace

      public static String replace(String allOfTheText, String toFind, String toReplace)
      Search and replace

    • trimTrailingSlashes

      public static String trimTrailingSlashes(String input)

    • trimLeadingSlashes

      public static String trimLeadingSlashes(String input)

    • occursOnceOnly

      public static boolean occursOnceOnly(String big, String small)

    • occursExactlyNTimes

      public static boolean occursExactlyNTimes(String big, String small, int n)

    • countOccurences

      public static int countOccurences(String big, String small)

    • trimLastSlashLevel

      public static String trimLastSlashLevel(String input)
      Removes last level from a "slashy string" representaion of a hierarchical path. For example, '/a/b/c' becomes '/a/b' with the exception that '/' and '' remain unchanged
