[jira] [Updated] (LANG-1030) StringUtils.same opposite method to
StringUtils.differ
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1030?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Michael Bazos updated LANG-1030:
--------------------------------
Description:
This is pretty easy to do but I have seen this come up and was surprised to find that StringUtils didn't have a utility method.
The difference() method is described as doing the following:
Compares two Strings, and returns the portion where they differ.
What I am proposing is essentially the opposite of the difference method called same(). This method would compare two String and return a new String when they are the same.
This is essentially the implementation:
public static String same(String str1, String str2) {
if (str1 != null && StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(str1, str2)) {
return new String(str1);
}
return null;
}
StringUtils.same(null, null) = null
StringUtils.same("", "") = "";
StringUtils.same("123", "") = null
StringUtils.same("123", "123") = "123";
If there is already a way to do this using the apache lang library please point me in the right direction. Otherwise I would be more than happy to do the testing, coding and documentation for this.
