Sebb commented on LANG-619:
---------------------------

This is starting to get off-topic for a JIRA issue. 

Try:

Assert.assertEquals(expected, source.replaceAll("(?i)(cOoL)", this.prefix + 
"$1" + this.suffix));

The : creates a non-capturing group, which is why there is no group 1 in your 
example.

> 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.
