[jira] Closed: (LANG-619) String prefixing/suffixing

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

Henri Yandell closed LANG-619.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Closing as a wontfix.

I think this is complex enough that it's worth using regex's instead of code. I strongly recommend Friedl's Mastering Regular Expressions book - the most valuable computer book I've ever read.

> I had a use case that I wanted to search through a string and, when I found a match, prefix or suffix (or both) the matching term, i.e. to apply a highlighting class to a matching keyword in a search.
> I noticed that this cannot be done by the StringUtils framework, so me and a colleague made this code and would like to donate it to the StringUtils project. In the attachment I included the class with the extensions plus a Unit test testing all the usecases. I hope you like it.
> There are 3 methods in the attached class:
> prefix: searches through a string and prefixes a match
> suffix: searches through a string and suffixes a match
> around: does both, prefix or suffix may be null.
