Method Detail

escapeXmlChars

public static String escapeXmlChars(String s)

Escapes the characters '<', '>' and '&' into their XML entity equivalents. Note that sometimes we have to use this method instead of StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml(String) or StringEscapeUtils.escapeHtml4(String) because those methods escape some unicode characters as well.

Parameters:

s - the string to escape

Returns:

the escaped form of the specified string

escapeXmlAttributeValue

public static String escapeXmlAttributeValue(String attValue)

Escape the string to be used as attribute value. Only <, & and " have to be escaped (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#d0e888).

Parameters:

attValue - the attribute value

Returns:

the escaped value

indexOf

public static int indexOf(String s,
                          char searchChar,
                          int beginIndex,
                          int endIndex)

Returns the index within the specified string of the first occurrence of the specified search character.

Parameters:

s - the string to search

searchChar - the character to search for

beginIndex - the index at which to start the search

endIndex - the index at which to stop the search

Returns:

the index of the first occurrence of the character in the string or -1

parseHttpDate

public static Date parseHttpDate(String s)

Parses the specified date string, assuming that it is formatted according to RFC 1123, RFC 1036 or as an ANSI C HTTP date header. This method returns null if the specified string is null or unparseable.

Parameters:

s - the string to parse as a date

Returns:

the date version of the specified string, or null

asColorHexadecimal

public static Color asColorHexadecimal(String token)

Returns a Color parsed from the given RGB in hexadecimal notation.

Parameters:

Returns a Color parsed from the given rgb notation.

Parameters:

token - the token to parse

Returns:

a Color whether the token is a color in RGB notation; otherwise null

formatColor

public static String formatColor(Color aColor)

sanitizeForAppendReplacement

public static String sanitizeForAppendReplacement(String toSanitize)

Sanitize a string for use in Matcher.appendReplacement. Replaces all \ with \\ and $ as \$ because they are used as control characters in appendReplacement.

Parameters:

toSanitize - the string to sanitize

Returns:

sanitized version of the given string

sanitizeForFileName

public static String sanitizeForFileName(String toSanitize)

Sanitizes a string for use as filename. Replaces \, /, |, :, ?, *, ", <, >, control chars by _ (underscore).
