http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13367 StringUtil enhancement ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-01-16 23:47 ------- Note that the docs for trim do NOT specify that trim("") == null What's really missing is my most-used utility method: clean(str, defaultValue) which returns defaultValue if str is null or becomes null after trimming. Kinda like defaltString(trim(str), defaultValue) but much easier to type. Also, how does strip differ from these? Just in its handling of control characters? The docs on all these are vague. It also seems like some refactoring would be appropriate to get the desired functionality. Personally, I find it hard to remember the difference between trim and clean without looking at the javadocs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
