Method Detail

replaceList

public static java.lang.String replaceList(java.lang.String string,
                                           java.lang.String[] from,
                                           java.lang.String[] to)

Replace instances of strings in the from-array in the first string with their counterpart in the to-array.

Parameters:

string - The input string

from - The first column of the translation table (The strings to replace).

to - The second column of the translation table (The strings to replace the elements of the from array with).

Returns:

The resulting string with all stuff replaced

replaceList

public static java.lang.String replaceList(java.lang.String string,
                                           char[] from,
                                           java.lang.String[] to)
