[jira] Updated: (LANG-687) Convert more of the StringUtils API to take CharSequence

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-687?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell updated LANG-687:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
Wherever possible, use CharSequence and not String in the StringUtils API.

Here is the working list of methods that don't take CharSequence. I'll update the description in place to show status.

  was:
Wherever possible, use CharSequence and not String in the StringUtils API.

substring can go to subSequence inside code. The general substring method can be replaced with a subSequence method and substring deprecated(?). One question is whether to implement a CharSequence.indexOf type method. Given that it's merely a walking method(?!?), this might be quite handy and would allow a bunch of StringUtils methods to move over.
