 * /**
 * 

* Operations on {@link java.lang.String} that are null safe. *

* *
    *
  • IsEmpty/IsBlank - checks if a String contains text
  • *
  • Trim/Strip - removes leading and trailing whitespace
  • *
  • Equals - compares two strings null-safe
  • *
  • startsWith - check if a String starts with a prefix null-safe
  • *
  • endsWith - check if a String ends with a suffix null-safe
  • *
  • IndexOf/LastIndexOf/Contains - null-safe index-of checks *
  • IndexOfAny/LastIndexOfAny/IndexOfAnyBut/LastIndexOfAnyBut - * index-of any of a set of Strings
  • *
  • ContainsOnly/ContainsNone/ContainsAny - does String contains * only/none/any of these characters
  • *
  • Substring/Left/Right/Mid - null-safe substring extractions
  • *
  • SubstringBefore/SubstringAfter/SubstringBetween - substring * extraction relative to other strings
  • *
  • Split/Join - splits a String into an array of substrings and vice * versa
  • *
  • Remove/Delete - removes part of a String
  • *
  • Replace/Overlay - Searches a String and replaces one String with * another
  • *
  • Chomp/Chop - removes the last part of a String
  • *
  • LeftPad/RightPad/Center/Repeat - pads a String
  • *
  • UpperCase/LowerCase/SwapCase/Capitalize/Uncapitalize - changes the * case of a String
  • *
  • CountMatches - counts the number of occurrences of one String in * another
  • *
  • IsAlpha/IsNumeric/IsWhitespace/IsAsciiPrintable - checks the * characters in a String
  • *
  • DefaultString - protects against a null input String
  • *
  • Reverse/ReverseDelimited - reverses a String
  • *
  • Abbreviate - abbreviates a string using ellipsis
  • *
  • Difference - compares Strings and reports on their differences *
  • *
  • LevensteinDistance - the number of changes needed to change one * String into another
  • *
* *

* The StringUtils class defines certain words related to String * handling. *

* *
    *
  • null - null
  • *
  • empty - a zero-length string ("")
  • *
  • space - the space character (' ', char 32)
  • *
  • whitespace - the characters defined by * {@link Character#isWhitespace(char)}
  • *
  • trim - the characters <= 32 as in {@link String#trim()}
  • *
* *

* StringUtils handles null input Strings quietly. * That is to say that a null input will return null. * Where a boolean or int is being returned details * vary by method. *

* *

* A side effect of the null handling is that a * NullPointerException should be considered a bug in * StringUtils (except for deprecated methods). *

* *

* Methods in this class give sample code to explain their operation. The symbol * * is used to indicate any input including null. *
