Method Details

itoa

String itoa(int i)

Convert an integer to a string.

Parameters:

i - the integer to convert

Returns:

the string representation of the input integer

atoi

int atoi(String s)
  throws XtumlException

Convert a string to an integer.

Parameters:

s - the string to parse

Returns:

the integer representation of the input string

Throws:

XtumlException - if the string cannot be parsed to an integer.

substr

String substr(String s,
 int begin,
 int end)

Get a substring of an input string from begin (inclusive) to end (exclusive). If begin < 0, the result is a substring starting at the beginning of s. If begin > the length of s - 1, the result is an empty string. If end < 0 or > the length of s, the result is a substring starting at begin to the end of s. If end <= begin, the result is an empty string.

Parameters:

s - the input string

begin - the start index of the substring (inclusive)

end - the end index of the substring (exclusive)

Returns:

the substring of s from begin (inclusive) to end (exclusive)

strlen

int strlen(String s)

Get the length of a string

Parameters:

s - the input string

Returns:

the length of the input string

indexof

int indexof(String haystack,
 String needle)

Gets the index of the first occurance of needle in haystack. Returns -1 if needle is not contained in haystack.

Parameters:

haystack - the string to search

needle - the string pattern to search for

Returns:

the index of the first occurance of needle in haystack

trim

String trim(String s)

Trim whitespace from the start and end of a string.

Parameters:

s - the input string

Returns:

the input string with all leading and trailing whitespace removed.

quote

String quote()

Return a literal double quote.

Returns:

a literal double quote

escapetics

String escapetics(String s)

Replace all single quotes with two single quotes for escaping SQL insert statements.

Parameters:

s - the input string

Returns:

the input string with all single quotes replaced with two single quotes

unescapetics

String unescapetics(String s)

Replace all occurances of two adjacent single quotes with one single quote for unescaping SQL insert statements.

Parameters:

s - the input string

Returns:

the input string with all occurances of two adjacent single quotes replaced with one single quote

replaceall

String replaceall(String s,
 String pattern,
 String replacement)

Replace all occurances of pattern with one replacement quote for unescaping SQL insert statements.

Parameters:

s - the input string

replacement - the string to insert

the - regex pattern string to find and replace

Returns:

the input string with all occurances of two adjacent single quotes replaced with one single quote
