String prefixing/suffixing
--------------------------
Key: LANG-619
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-619
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: lang.*
Affects Versions: 2.5
Reporter: Stephan van Hugten
I had a use case that I wanted to search through a string and, when I found a
match, prefix or suffix (or both) the matching term, i.e. to apply a
highlighting class to a matching keyword in a search.
I noticed that this cannot be done by the StringUtils framework, so me and a
colleague made this code and would like to donate it to the StringUtils
project. In the attachment I included the class with the extensions plus a Unit
test testing all the usecases. I hope you like it.
There are 3 methods in the attached class:
prefix: searches through a string and prefixes a match
suffix: searches through a string and suffixes a match
around: does both, prefix or suffix may be null.
