Method Detail

replace

@Deprecated
public static java.lang.String replace(java.lang.String source,
                                  java.lang.String find,
                                  java.lang.String repl)

Deprecated.

This is intended to be semantically equivalent to source.replace(find, repl) but also compatible with JDK 1.4.

Parameters:

source - The String on which to operate

find - The literal substring to be replaced

repl - The literal replacement substring

Returns:

The resultant String after substitution

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if any of the arguments are null

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if find has zero length

See Also:

String.replace(CharSequence target, CharSequence replacement)

toString

@Deprecated
public static java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object[] a)

Deprecated.

This is intended to be equivalent to Arrays.toString(a) but also compatible with JDK 1.4. This concatenates the results of calling String.valueOf() on each element of the array, so this won't work well for multi-dimensional arrays.

See Also:

String.valueOf(Object), Arrays.toString(Object[]), Arrays.deepToString(Object[])

trimComma

public static java.lang.String trimComma(java.lang.String s)

Trim trailing comma from given string.

Parameters:

s - a string

Returns:

the same string with trailing comma trimmed (if any)

initializeEscapeMap

public static void initializeEscapeMap()

Initializes the map of characters to be escaped and their corresponding escape sequences. This method will be invoked automatically the first time a string is escaped/unescaped.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition)

escapeXml

public static java.lang.String escapeXml(java.lang.String s)

Escape XML entities and illegal characters in the given string. This enhances the functionality of org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml by escaping low-valued unprintable characters, which are not permitted by the W3C XML 1.0 specification.

Parameters:

s - a string

Returns:

the same string with characters not permitted by the XML specification escaped

See Also:

Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition), org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils javadoc

initializeUnescapePattern

public static boolean initializeUnescapePattern()

Initialize regular expressions used in unescaping. This method will be invoked automatically the first time a string is unescaped.

unescapeXml

public static java.lang.String unescapeXml(java.lang.String s)

Unescape XML entities and illegal characters in the given string. This enhances the functionality of org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.unescapeXml by unescaping low-valued unprintable characters, which are not permitted by the W3C XML 1.0 specification.

Parameters:

s - a string

Returns:

the same string with XML entities/escape sequences unescaped

See Also:

Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition), org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils javadoc

escapeLFCRBackSlash

public static java.lang.String escapeLFCRBackSlash(java.lang.String s)
