Alex Powell created LANG-1198:
---------------------------------
Summary: naming vs behaviour of stripEnd
Key: LANG-1198
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1198
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: lang.*
Reporter: Alex Powell
Priority: Minor
The signature StringUtils.stripEnd(String str, String stripChars) is confusing
as the String is being treated as a series of chars. one of our devs was caught
out by this when the ide in use showed the signature as stripEnd(String,
String) and the outcome of stripEnd("85123116", "16") was not "851231" but
rather "85123".
we realise now that removeEnd is what we were after, so,
would StringUtils.stripEnd(String str, char[] stripChars) be more fitting?
cheers
Alex
