Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)

makeSubsts

public static java.lang.String makeSubsts(java.lang.String orig,
                                          java.util.HashMap pairs)

does a global subst of the given pairs in the original string. Returns the changed string. The pairs assoc array contains values whose key is: search1->subst1

subst

public static java.lang.String subst(java.lang.String orig,
                                     java.lang.String search,
                                     java.lang.String replace,
                                     boolean global)

search an exact string in the given one, and if found, subst it with replace does a global replace if globa=true $return_value=$orig+~s/search/subst/global

escape

public static java.lang.String escape(java.lang.String orig,
                                      boolean unix)

Escape most usual characters sequences: \n \r \t. Treat \+(any other char) as -> (any other char), so \b -> b and \\ -> \

Parameters:

str - the string where to search escapes

unix - tell if system is unix like or not. If unix-like treat \r as empty string so \r\n -> \n and \r -> ''

Returns:

string with escape substituted
