Method Detail

explode

public static java.util.Vector explode(java.lang.String string,
                                       char seperator)

Splits the string at the given seperator into multiple strings and returns these as a Vector. explode will not split if the seperator is prefixed by the escape char. Also the resulting strings are unwrapped: occurances of escape char plus the seperator are replaced by the seperator. So explode("a:b\:c:d", ':') return ["a", "b:c", "d"].

Parameters:

string - the source string to split

seperator - the special character which is used as seperator

Returns:

the resulting strings

implode

public static java.lang.String implode(java.lang.String[] strs,
                                       char seperator)

Joins the given strings and the seperator into a single string. implode will wrap the input strings: occourances of the seperator are replaced by escape char plus the seperator. So implode(["a", "b:c", "d"], ':') = "a:b\:c:d".

Parameters:

strs - the source strings

seperator - the special character which is used as seperator

Returns:

the single string
