Arend v. Reinersdorff updated TEXT-74:
--------------------------------------
Description:
In StrSubstitutor variable replacement works in a recursive way. And currently
there's no way to turn this off.
Why turn it off: I want to replace some variables in a simple template. Some of
the replacemnt values are arbitrary user input.
At the moment I escape all dollar signs in the replacement values with "$$".
This is annoying. Especially as I use one template with variables as a value
for another variable. Here I have to escape twice.
Here's some example code. At the moment it prints:
{code}
Hello world
{code}
The commented line is my suggestion for this feature. If it works, it should
print:
{code}
Hello ${key2}
{code}
{code}
Map<String, String> valueMap = new HashMap<>();
valueMap.put("key", "${key2}");
valueMap.put("key2", "world");
String source = "Hello ${key}";
StrSubstitutor strSubstitutor = new StrSubstitutor(valueMap);
// strSubstitutor.setEnableSubstitutionInValues(false);
System.out.println(strSubstitutor.replace(source));
{code}
