EbfUtils

 public EbfUtils()

isEmpty

 public static boolean isEmpty(String s)

toInt

 public static int toInt(String s)

Convert String into an int.

toInt

 public static int toInt(String s,
                         int default_value)

Convert String into an int.

toBoolean

 public static boolean toBoolean(String s)

Convert String into a boolean. If given string does not contain any of following values, it returns default return value 'false'.
YES, TRUE, ENABLE, ENABLED - returns true (case does not matter).
NO, FALSE, DISABLE, DISABLED - returns false (case does not matter).

Parameters:: s - A String to be converted to the boolean value.
Returns:: A boolean value

toBoolean

 public static boolean toBoolean(String s,
                                 boolean defaultvalue)

Convert String into a boolean. If given string does not contain any of following values, it returns defaultvalue.
YES, TRUE, ENABLE, ENABLED - returns true (case does not matter).
NO, FALSE, DISABLE, DISABLED - returns false (case does not matter).

Parameters:: s - A String to be converted to the boolean value.; defaultvalue - A boolean default value to be returned if given string did not contain a valid value.
Returns:: A boolean value

toString

 public static String toString(boolean b)

Convert boolean into a String

toString

 public static String toString(int i)

Convert an int into the String.

toVector

 public static Vector toVector(String semicolon_seperated_list)

Convert semicolon-seperated list (String) to a String Array.

Parameters:: s - semicolon_seperated_list A list seperated by semi-colons.
Returns:: A Vector containing all values extracted from the list.

toVector

 public static Vector toVector(String list_of_values,
                               String field_separator,
                               String text_qualifier)

Convert list of values (String) to a Vector.

Parameters:: list_of_values - A list of values seperated by field_separator; field_separator - A field separator used in the list values.; text_qualifier - -- This is not available at this time -- Supplied value is IGNORED.
Returns:: A Vector containing all values extracted from the list.

toVector

 public static Vector toVector(String list_of_values,
                               String field_separator,
                               String text_qualifier,
                               int max_elements)

Convert list of values (String) to a String Array.

Note: This method is dangerous. It uses StreamTokenizer class which has a bug. It ignores a token if it was null. What I mean is, if your list of values had format of formid,formname,status, but if it looked like formid,,status,, you've got a major problem. StreamTokenizer returns only two tokens formid and status.

Workaround: make sure your record looks likeformid, ,status,.

Parameters:: list_of_values - A list of values seperated by field_separator; field_separator - A field separator used in the list values.; text_qualifier - This parameter is not used at this time -- Supplied value is IGNORED.; max_elements - maximum number of elements to be extracted from the list. Remaining list values will be ignored.
Returns:: A Vector containing all values extracted from the list.

padString

 public static String padString(String str,
                                String pad_with,
                                int str_length)

parseKeyValuePairs

 public static Hashtable parseKeyValuePairs(String str)

Parses string of following format and converts it into a hashtable.
key1=value1;key2=value2;key3=value3; .......

Parameters:: str - A string containing key value pairs seperated by ; (semi-colon).
Returns:: A hashtable containing keys and values. If no key=values parsed, returns empty hashtable.

parseKeyValuePairs

 public static Hashtable parseKeyValuePairs(String str,
                                            String pair_separator)

Parses string of following format and converts it into a hashtable.
For example, key1=value1;key2=value2;key3=value3; ....... ( pairs are seperated using ; )

Parameters:: str - A string containing key value pairs seperated by pair_separator.
Returns:: A hashtable containing keys and values. If no key=values parsed, returns empty hashtable.
