capitalize(String)

decapitalize

public static java.lang.String decapitalize(java.lang.String name)

Utility method to take a string and convert it to normal Java variable name capitalization. This normally means converting the first character from upper case to lower case, but in the (unusual) special case when there is more than one character and both the first and second characters are upper case, we leave it alone.

Thus "FooBah" becomes "fooBah" and "X" becomes "x", but "URL" stays as "URL".

Parameters:

name - The string to be decapitalized.

The decapitalized version of the string.

                         int toIndex)

Returns a new string that is a substring of this string. The substring begins at the specified fromIndex and extends to the character at index toIndex - 1. However, index values can be negative, and then the real index will be calculated from the strings end. This allows to specify, e.g. substring(1,-1) to cut one character from both ends of the string. If fromIndex is negative and toIndex is 0, it will return last characters of the string. Also, this method will never throw an exception if index is out of range.

isSubstringAt

public static boolean isSubstringAt(java.lang.String string,
                    java.lang.String substring,
                    int offset)

Returns true if substring exist at given offset in a string.

                       java.lang.String delimiter)

Splits a string in several parts (tokens) that are separated by delimiter. Delimiter is always surrounded by two strings! If there is no content between two delimiters, empty string will be returned for that token. Therefore, the length of the returned array will always be: #delimiters + 1.

Method is much, much faster then regexp String.split(), and a bit faster then StringTokenizer.

Parameters:

src - string to split

delimiter - split delimiter

Returns:

array of split strings

splitc

public static java.lang.String[] splitc(java.lang.String src,
                        java.lang.String d)

Parameters:

src - source to examine

delimiters - char array with delimiter characters

Returns:

array of tokens

splitc

public static java.lang.String[] splitc(java.lang.String src,

Compress multiple occurrences of given char into one appearance.

indexOf

public static int indexOf(java.lang.String src,

Finds first occurrence of a substring in the given source but within limited range [start, end). It is fastest possible code, but still original String.indexOf(String, int) is much faster (since it uses char[] value directly) and should be used when no range is needed.

Parameters:

src - source string for examination

sub - substring to find

startIndex - starting index

endIndex - ending index

Returns:

index of founded substring or -1 if substring not found

indexOf

public static int indexOf(java.lang.String src,
          char c,

          int endIndex)

Finds the first occurrence of a character in the given source but within limited range (start, end].

                    char c,
                    int startIndex,

Finds the first occurrence of a character in the given source but within limited range (start, end].

indexOfIgnoreCase

public static int indexOfIgnoreCase(java.lang.String src,
                    java.lang.String subS)

index of founded substring or -1 if substring is not found

fromCamelCase

public static java.lang.String fromCamelCase(java.lang.String input,
                             char separator)

Changes CamelCase string to lower case words separated by provided separator character. The following translations are applied:

• Every upper case letter in the CamelCase name is translated into two characters, a separator and the lower case equivalent of the target character, with three exceptions.
  1. For contiguous sequences of upper case letters, characters after the first character are replaced only by their lower case equivalent, and are not preceded by a separator (theFOO to the_foo).
  2. An upper case character in the first position of the CamelCase name is not preceded by a separator character, and is translated only to its lower case equivalent. (Foo to foo and not _foo)
  3. An upper case character in the CamelCase name that is already preceded by a separator character is translated only to its lower case equivalent, and is not preceded by an additional separator. (user_Name to user_name and not user__name.
• If the CamelCase name starts with a separator, then that separator is not included in the translated name, unless the CamelCase name is just one character in length, i.e., it is the separator character. This applies only to the first character of the CamelCase name.
