Oliver,
Thanks for the advice. I had briefly looked at that and didn't see an
obvious "match anything" StrMatcher so I opted to write my own code.
Depending on formating, it's only around ten lines of code.

Although the doc for org.apache.commons.lang.text.StrSubstitutor
disallows a null prefix or suffix in the constructor, it doesn't
mention the empty string. I tried the empty string for the prefix and
suffix but that didn't work.

By looking at the code, yes, it seems that a suffix is required.
How do the variables look like you are dealing with? Perhaps it is an
option to provide your own implementation of the StrMatcher class [1],
which is internally used for detecting prefixes and suffixes
(StrSubstitutor has methods that take such matchers instead of a prefix
and a suffix as string). This should not be too complicated.
