Shouldn't Commons Lang's StringUtils have a "common" string method?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-269
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-269
Project: Commons Lang
Type: New Feature
Environment: generic
Reporter: Michael Dang
A method which accepts a string array and returns a string which is the common
portion of all the strings starting from the left, or more general form of that.
This is very common operation. For example, one may want to find the common
directory of a set of path strings.
passing in:
"/foo/f1.txt"
"/foo/moo/f2.txt"
"/foo/moo/f3.txt"
should returns "/foo/"
It is tedious to implement this in every project. And I think Commons Lang
StringUtils should have some methods to help in this.
