Stephan van Hugten commented on LANG-619:
-----------------------------------------
I agree, but my lack of knowledge of regexes was the reason to opt for my
approach. I would like to conclude that these convenience methods are of course
null-safe and were useful for our project. You may decide what to do with it in
your project.
> 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
> Attachments: StringExtendedUtils.zip
>
>
> 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.
