public abstract class StringUtils
extends Object

Miscellaneous string utility methods. Mainly for internal use within the framework; consider Jakarta's Commons Lang for a more comprehensive suite of string utilities.

This class delivers some simple functionality that should really be provided by the core Java String and StringBuffer classes, such as the ability to replace all occurrences of a given substring in a target string. It also provides easy-to-use methods to convert between delimited strings, such as CSV strings, and collections and arrays.

hasLength

public static boolean hasLength(String str)

Check if a String has length.

 StringUtils.hasLength(null) = false

Parameters:

str - the String to check, may be null

Returns:

true if the String is not null and has length

hasText

 StringUtils.hasText(" 12345 ") = true
 

Parameters:

str - the String to check, may be null

Returns:

true if the String is not null, length > 0, and not whitespace only

See Also:

Character.isWhitespace(char)

Test if the given String starts with the specified prefix, ignoring upper/lower case.

Parameters:

Parameters:

s - String to scan.

c - Character to find and count.

Returns:

Number of occurrences of c in s.

toStringArray

Copy the given Collection into a String array. The Collection must contain String elements only.

Parameters:

collection - the Collection to copy

Returns:

the String array (null if the Collection was null as well)

join

public static String join(String[] array,
                          String delimiter,
                          int firstIndex,

public static String[] tokenizeToStringArray(String str,
                                             String delimiters)

Tokenize the given String into a String array via a StringTokenizer. Trims tokens and omits empty tokens.

The given delimiters string is supposed to consist of any number of delimiter characters. Each of those characters can be used to separate tokens. A delimiter is always a single character; for multi-character delimiters, consider using delimitedListToStringArray

Parameters:

str - the String to tokenize

delimiters - the delimiter characters, assembled as String (each of those characters is individually considered as delimiter).

Returns:

an array of the tokens

See Also:

StringTokenizer, String.trim(), delimitedListToStringArray(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

tokenizeToStringArray

public static String[] tokenizeToStringArray(String str,
                                             String delimiters,
                                             boolean trimTokens,
                                             boolean ignoreEmptyTokens)

Tokenize the given String into a String array via a StringTokenizer.

The given delimiters string is supposed to consist of any number of delimiter characters. Each of those characters can be used to separate tokens. A delimiter is always a single character; for multi-character delimiters, consider using delimitedListToStringArray

Parameters:

str - the String to tokenize

delimiters - the delimiter characters, assembled as String (each of those characters is individually considered as delimiter)

trimTokens - trim the tokens via String's trim

ignoreEmptyTokens - omit empty tokens from the result array (only applies to tokens that are empty after trimming; StringTokenizer will not consider subsequent delimiters as token in the first place).

Returns:

an array of the tokens

See Also:

StringTokenizer, String.trim(), delimitedListToStringArray(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

delimitedListToStringArray

public static String[] delimitedListToStringArray(String str,
                                                  String delimiter)

Take a String which is a delimited list and convert it to a String array.

A single delimiter can consists of more than one character: It will still be considered as single delimiter string, rather than as bunch of potential delimiter characters - in contrast to tokenizeToStringArray.

Parameters:

str - the input String

delimiter - the delimiter between elements (this is a single delimiter, rather than a bunch individual delimiter characters)

Returns:

an array of the tokens in the list

See Also:

tokenizeToStringArray(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

commaDelimitedListToStringArray

public static String[] commaDelimitedListToStringArray(String str)

Parameters:

str - CSV list

Returns:

an array of Strings, or the empty array if s is null
