Re: [lang] new functionality in StringUtils and ArrayUtils - proposal 01 - error

["Ash .." <eq...@hotmail.com>]

In my previous email,





  /**
   * <pre>
   * StringUtils.lead("abc", '.', 3)  = "abc..."
   */

This should be:

  /**
   * <pre>
   * StringUtils.trail("abc", '.', 3)  = "abc..."
   */
