Method Detail

createCommandArray

public static String[] createCommandArray(String s,
                          char delim)

Convenience method for creating arrays of strings suitable for use as command-line parameters when executing an external process.

The default Runtime.execmethod will split a single string based on spaces, but it does not respect spaces within quotation marks, and it will leave the quotation marks in the resulting substrings. This method solves those problems by replacing all in-quote spaces with the given delimiter, removes the quotes, and then splits the resulting string by the remaining out-of-quote spaces. It then goes through each substring and replaces the delimiters with spaces.

Caveat: This method does not respect escaped quotes! It will simply remove them and leave the stray escape characters.

Parameters:

s - the string to split

delim - a char that does not already exist in s

Returns:

An array of strings split by spaces outside of quotes.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If s is null or if delim already exists in s.

truncate

public static String truncate(String name,
              int length)

truncate

Parameters:

name - a String object.

length - a int.

Returns:

a String object.

public static boolean isLocalWindowsPath(String path)
