Converts things to strings a bit more smartly, mainly primitives and primitive arrays.

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(double value)

toString

public static java.lang.String toString(int value)

hasIntegerSuffix

public static boolean hasIntegerSuffix(java.lang.String string)

Checks for an integer suffix.

Parameters:

string - to check

Returns:

true if string has an integer suffix.

removeIntegerSuffix

public static java.lang.String removeIntegerSuffix(java.lang.String string)

Removes integer suffix and returns the remainder.

Parameters:

string - input string

Returns:

everything except the integer suffix

integerSuffixOf

public static int integerSuffixOf(java.lang.String string)

Returns the integer value of the suffix of the string.

Parameters:

string - string to parse an integer suffix from

Returns:

integer value of suffix

hasIntegerPrefix

public static boolean hasIntegerPrefix(java.lang.String string)

Returns true if the given string has an integer prefix.

Parameters:

string - string to check

Returns:

true if the beginning of a string is an integer

removeIntegerPrefix

public static java.lang.String removeIntegerPrefix(java.lang.String string)

Removes any integer prefix and returns the remainder of the String.

Parameters:

string - string to strip the integer prefix from

Returns:

everything except the integer prefix

integerPrefixOf

public static int integerPrefixOf(java.lang.String string)

Attempts to parse a integer prefix for the given string and return it as an integer.

Parameters:

string - string to parse

Returns:

value of integer prefix

fill

                                    java.lang.String filler)

Returns a String constructed by repeating the filler pattern until the result is the desired length. If necessary, truncates the last instance of the pattern such that the String is exactly the requested length.

Parameters:

desiredLength - length of returned string

filler - repeated pattern to fill string with

Returns:

string of desired length consisting of filler repeated

leftPad

public static java.lang.String leftPad(java.lang.String original,
