Henri Yandell commented on LANG-180: ------------------------------------ svn ci -m "Applying my modified version of Chris Hyzer's patch from LANG-180 - adding a replaceEach(String, String[], String[]) and replaceRepeatedly(String, String[], String[]) pair of methods. The internal code to the private replaceEach method has not been fully reviewed yet - I wanted to get more eyes focused on the algorithm" src Sending src/java/org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtils.java Sending src/test/org/apache/commons/lang/StringUtilsTest.java Transmitting file data .. Committed revision 616170. > [lang] adding a StringUtils.replace method that takes an array or List of > replacement strings > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-180 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-180 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: Operating System: other > Platform: Other > Reporter: Chris > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.4 > > Attachments: LANG-180.patch, LANG-180.patch, StringUtilsAndText.java > > > I have the situation where I have a String template with a dozen replacements > I need to make. When I loop through and use StringUtils.replace each time, > it > has to make a StringBuffer of the whole template each time. I think we could > make this more efficient if we had a replace() method which took an array of > Strings to search for, and an array of Strings to replace with (or we could > use a Collection or List or something). This way we could possibly do the > replace in one StringBuffer result. > One issue is if the replacement text has Strings to be replaced, do we > iterate > through again until there are no Strings to search for? Based on your > replaceChars(String str, String searchChars, String replaceChars) method, I > assume the answer is no, but we could have a boolean flag to have it both > ways. > I can write this for you if you are interested, please let me know. > Thanks! > Chris -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
