Ivan Hristov commented on LANG-895:
-----------------------------------

Here is a possible implementation of the new method public static String 
substringAfterLast(String str, String separator, String defaultValue):

public static String substringAfterLast(String str, String separator, String 
defaultValue) {
 if (isEmpty(str)) {
            return str;
        }
        if (isEmpty(separator)) {
            return EMPTY;
        }
        int pos = str.lastIndexOf(separator);
        if (pos == INDEX_NOT_FOUND || pos == str.length() - separator.length()) 
{
            return defaultValue;
        }
        return str.substring(pos + separator.length());
}

And the refactored, old method public static String substringAfterLast(String 
str, String separator) could be implemented as follows:

public static String substringAfterLast(String str, String separator) {
   return substringAfterLast(str, separator, EMPTY);
}

Cheers,
Ivan

> At the moment, we have the following method public static String 
> substringAfterLast(String str, String separator) in the class StringUtils 
> which returns an empty string in case no separator is present. I think, it 
> would be handy to be able to control what is returned in case no separator is 
> found. For this reason, I would propose to have a method with the following 
> signature:
> public static String substringAfterLast(String str, String separator, String 
> defaultValue). The same proposal holds for public static String 
> substringAfter(String str, String separator).
