Method Detail

equalsIgnoreCase

public static boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String s1,
                                       String s2)

toString

public static String toString(Object obj)

if obj is null, returns empty string. otherwise returns obj.toString()

isEmpty

public static boolean isEmpty(CharSequence str)

returns true if str is null or its length is zero

isWhitespace

public static boolean isWhitespace(CharSequence str)

returns true if str is null or it contains only whitespaces.

Character.isWhitespace(char) is used to test for whitespace

getTokens

public static String[] getTokens(String str,
                                 String delim,
                                 boolean trim)

Splits given string into tokens with delimiters specified. It uses StringTokenizer for tokenizing.

Parameters:

str - string to be tokenized

delim - delimiters used for tokenizing

trim - trim the tokens

Returns:

non-null token array

suggest

public static String suggest(Filter<String> filter,
                             String pattern,
                             boolean tryEmptyVar)

the pattern specified must have variable part ${i} example: test${i}.txt it will find a string using pattern, which is accepted by the specified filter. if tryEmptyVar is true, it searches in order: test.txt, test2.txt, test3.txt and so on if tryEmptyVar is false, it searches in order: test1.txt, test2.txt, test3.txt and so on
