Pascal Schumacher closed LANG-742.
----------------------------------
       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: Review Patch)

No comments for over 5 years. I guess this feature is a bit too specific for commons-lang, so I'm closing this.

> This is a proposal for a feature addition.
> On several projects, I've needed to perform case insensitive manipulation on Arrays of Strings. My original need was just a solution for containsIgnoreCase(String[], String) and indexOfIgnoreCase(String[], String). In an effort to keep things simple, I created this class which implements 8 [IgnoreCase] methods that could be a benefit to Commons Lang users.
> StringArrayUtils extends ArrayUtils, it provides case insensitive manipulation on an Array of Strings.
> The new methods provided in the class are:
> containsIgnoreCase(String[] array, String stringToFind)
> indexOfIgnoreCase(String[] array, String stringToFind)
> indexOfIgnoreCase(String[] array, String stringToFind, int startIndex)
> isEqualsIgnoreCase(String[] array1, String[] array2)
> lastIndexOfIgnoreCase(String[] array, String stringToFind)
> lastIndexOfIgnoreCase(String[] array, String stringToFind, int startIndex)
> removeElementIgnoreCase(String[] array, String element)
> removeElementsIgnoreCase(String[] array, String... values)
> These eight methods cover the functional pattern provided in ArrayUtils. Any comparison in ArrayUtils based on obj1.equals(obj2) now has an equivalent str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str2) in StringArrayUtils.
> I've included a test case and have made efforts to match your coding convention and style. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. I'd be happy to follow up with any changes or edits if you think this is something that might be included in a future version of Commons Lang.

> Ps. I understand that handling a special case for the String's equalsIgnoreCase(...) may  be a slippery slope - which has been intentionally avoided.  I have also considered overloading the above eight methods with a Comparator parameter, but requiring a user to pass in a not-null, case-insensitive comparator didn't seem as straight forward as the above solution.
