Method Detail

replaceAll

public static java.lang.String replaceAll(java.lang.String source,
                                          java.lang.String match,
                                          java.lang.String replacement)

Replaces all occurrences of match in source with replacement.

Parameters:

source - the source string

match - the string that is searched

replacement - the replacement string

Returns:

the modified string

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any argument is null or if match is the empty string

compare

public static int compare(java.lang.String string1,
                          java.lang.String string2)

Compares two strings and returns the last index where the two string are equal. If the first characters of the two string do not match or if at least one of the two strings is empty, -1 is returned.

Parameters:

string1 - the first string

string2 - the second string

Returns:

the last index where the strings are equal

lowerCase

public static java.lang.String lowerCase(java.lang.String string,
                                         int index)

Converts the character at the specified index to lowercase and returns the resulting string.

Parameters:

string - the string to convert

index - the index where the character is set to lowercase

Returns:

the converted string

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range

lowerCase

public static java.lang.String lowerCase(java.lang.String string,
                                         int startIndex,
                                         int endIndex)

Converts the character in the specified index range to lowercase and returns the resulting string. If the provided endIndex is smaller or equal to startIndex, the endIndex is set to startIndex + 1.

Parameters:

string - the string to convert

startIndex - the index to start, inclusive

endIndex - the index to end, exclusive

Returns:

the converted string

Throws:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is out of range

fieldToString

public static java.lang.String fieldToString(java.lang.String fieldName,
                                             java.lang.Object field)

Helper method for toString() implementations. Returns a string "field name: value". Handles null values, collections and arrays. If the field is a collection or an array, the returned string will be:
"field name 0: value0\nfield name 1: value1"

Parameters:

fieldName - the field name

field - the field value

Returns:

a suitable string for toString() implementations

appendObjectsAsString

public static void appendObjectsAsString(java.lang.StringBuffer buffer,
                                         java.util.List data)

Appends the entries in the specified List as strings with a terminating "\n" after each row.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer

data - the List with the data

appendTabs

public static void appendTabs(java.lang.StringBuffer buffer,
                              int number)

Appends number tabs (\t) to the buffer.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer

number - the number of tabs to append

split

public static java.lang.String[] split(java.lang.String string,
                                       java.lang.String delim,
                                       boolean doTrim)

Splits a string into tokens. Similar to StringTokenizer except that empty tokens are recognized and added as null. With a delimiter of ";" the string "a;;b;c;;" will split into ["a"] [null] ["b"] ["c"] [null].

Parameters:

string - the String

delim - the delimiter

doTrim - should each token be trimmed

Returns:

the array of tokens

countMatches

public static int countMatches(java.lang.String string,
                               java.lang.String other)

Parameters:

string - the string to search

other - the string that is searched

the number of occurences

matchesExact

public static boolean matchesExact(java.lang.String source,
                                   java.lang.String target,
                                   boolean caseSensitive)

Returns if the specified strings are equal, ignoring case, if caseSensitive is false.

Parameters:

source - the source String

target - the target String

caseSensitive - is the comparison case sensitive

Returns:

true if the strings matches false otherwise

matchesContains

public static boolean matchesContains(java.lang.String source,
                                      java.lang.String target,

Returns if source contains target, ignoring case, if caseSensitive is false.

Parameters:

source - the source String

target - the target String

caseSensitive - is the comparison case sensitive

Returns:

true if the strings matches false otherwise

matchesPerl5

public static boolean matchesPerl5(java.lang.String source,
                                   java.lang.String target,
