Sebb resolved LANG-666.
-----------------------
Resolution: Invalid
The second parameter is not a String - it is the *set* of characters to strip.
So StringUtils.stripEnd("120.00", ".00") - which is the same as
StringUtils.stripEnd("120.00", ".0") - results in "12" because there is a "0"
on the end.
However, StringUtils.stripEnd("121.00", ".0") gives "121".
> StringUtils.stripEnd() using a '.' as an "any" character

> Key: LANG-666
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-666
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.*
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Environment: JAVA 6, mac os X
> Reporter: Vincent Fumo
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: StringUtilsTest.java
>
>
> The documentation for stripEnd() indicates that the second parameter should
> be the string to stip from the end of the first paramater. This mostly works,
> but I think I found a case where it doesn't and that's when there is a period
> '.' character in the stripChars. It seems to be counting the period as a
> regex anychar. Example code :
> // trying to strip the cents from a dollar amount
> String result = StringUtils.stripEnd("120.00", ".00");
> System.out.println("Expected \"120\", got \"" + result + "\"");
>
> // maybe we should escape the dot?
> result = StringUtils.stripEnd("120.00", "\\.00");
> System.out.println("Expected \"120\", got \"" + result + "\"");
