Paul Benedict commented on LANG-405:
------------------------------------
This method does not fit the definition of truncate
(http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Atruncate); truncation always deal with
the trunks/edges/ends.
> StringUtils.truncate() to cut out middle part of a String

> It would be handy to have a String method that cuts out the middle part of a
> String such that as much as possible is kept from the start and end of the
> String, but the middle part is replaced by an ellipsis "..."
> BeOS had a function like this, but it's poorly documented, missing examples:
> http://www.beunited.org/bebook/The%20Support%20Kit/String.html#Truncate()
> e.g.:
> A very long text with unimportant stuff in the middle but interesting start
> and end to see if the text is complete.
> becomes:
> A very long text...to see if the text is complete.
