Paul Benedict commented on LANG-673: ------------------------------------ The error happens in line 627: {code}result.append(str.substring(0, upper));{code} > WordUtils.abbreviate() throws undocumented StringIndexOutOfBoundsException > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-673 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-673 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.5 > Reporter: Paul Benedict > Fix For: 3.0 > > > The javadoc does not indicate that the string must already be long enough to > abbreviate; yet it really does or an Exception is thrown. For example, if you > try to abbreviate a string of length 10 at 40 characters, this will fail. I > believe this should be allowed... just without any abbreviation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
