Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static boolean	areWordsInString(java.lang.String[] words, java.lang.String str, int flags)
static java.util.Vector	btokenize(java.lang.String str, char separator)
static java.util.Vector	btokenizeEx(java.lang.String str, char separator) This method tokenizes the given string, using the separator character as the tokenizing delimiter.

static java.lang.String	replaceText(java.lang.String content, java.lang.String pattern, java.lang.String replace) Replaces all occurrances of the pattern in the content string with the given replace text.
static java.lang.String	testCharacters(java.lang.String str, java.lang.String chars)
static java.lang.String[]	wordWrapString(java.lang.String str, java.awt.FontMetrics metrics, int maxWidth) Breaks up a long string into multiple Strings between words to fit in a graphical area of a specified font & width.

Method Detail

areWordsInString

public static boolean areWordsInString(java.lang.String[] words,
                                       java.lang.String str,
                                       int flags)

btokenize

public static java.util.Vector btokenize(java.lang.String str,
                                         char separator)

btokenizeEx

public static java.util.Vector btokenizeEx(java.lang.String str,
                                           char separator)

This method tokenizes the given string, using the separator character as the tokenizing delimiter. This function extends the basic btokenize functionality by adding the ability to embed the separator in a string using an escape sequence. For example, if the delimiter is a ',' and the string actually had ',' s that shouldn't be interpreted as delimiters, these could be replaced with the '\,' escape sequence, causing them to be ignored by this function. The escape sequence is collapsed to a single character in the results.

convertDoubleSlash

public static java.lang.String convertDoubleSlash(java.lang.String str)

convertSingleSlash

public static java.lang.String convertSingleSlash(java.lang.String str)

format

public static java.lang.String format(java.lang.String pattern,
                                      java.lang.Object[] arguments)

This routine jackets java.text.MessageFormat.format() and hides the fact that that routine destroys apostrophes, and turns double and triple apostrophes into single apostrophes.

Parameters:

pattern - String to be passed to MessageFormat.format

arguments - Object[] of parameters for substitution by MessageFormat.format

Returns:

String formatted string with substitutions made

getWordList

public static java.lang.String[] getWordList(java.lang.String str)

replaceText

public static java.lang.String replaceText(java.lang.String content,
                                           java.lang.String pattern,
                                           java.lang.String replace)

Replaces all occurrances of the pattern in the content string with the given replace text. The comparison is case-sensitive.

Parameters:

String - content

String - pattern

String - replace

testCharacters

public static java.lang.String testCharacters(java.lang.String str,
                                              java.lang.String chars)

wordWrapString

public static java.lang.String[] wordWrapString(java.lang.String str,
                                                java.awt.FontMetrics metrics,
                                                int maxWidth)

Breaks up a long string into multiple Strings between words to fit in a graphical area of a specified font & width.
