StringUtils.lastIndexOfAnyBut() function desired
------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-622
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-622
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: david cogen
Priority: Minor
class StringUtils needs the function lastIndexOfAnyBut()
This would be like indexOfAnyBut() except searches from the end rather than the
beginning.
It would be like lastIndexOfAny() except looks for a character other than those
in the string rather than for those in the string.
This is the only one of the four combinations of "from beginning"/"from end"
and "for any"/"for any but" that is not provided.
Interestingly, the class header doc. mentions "LastIndexOfAnyBut" but the
function does not exist - even as a private, as determined by class
introspection.
(This is not a frivolous request. I actually did need this function and ended
up having to code a search loop.)
