Scott Johnson commented on LANG-269: ------------------------------------ I've attached an updated patch reflecting your idea, Michael. It will definitely improve performance. I was also able to eliminate the String.equals() calls in the first loop which will improve performance further. Thanks again, Scott > 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 > Fix For: 3.0 > Attachments: StringUtils.patch, v2_StringUtils.java.patch, > v2_StringUtilsTest.java.patch > > 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.

And I think Commons Lang > StringUtils should have some methods to help in this. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
