Method Details

array2map

public static HashMap<String,String> array2map(String[] a)

Converts an array into a hash map. This is used because Java, unlike Perl, does not have an easy-to-use literal to initialize a hash map.

Parameters:

a - An array with the content (key1, val1, key2, val2, ...)

array2set

public static HashSet<String> array2set(String... a)

Can also take String[] a

array2set

public static HashSet<Integer> array2set(int... a)

array2vector

public static <T> Vector<T> array2vector(T... a)

loseType

public static <T> Vector<Object> loseType(Vector<T> a)

loseType

public static <T> Set<Object> loseType(Set<T> a)

joinNonBlank

public static <T> String joinNonBlank(String sep,
 Collection<T> v)

Only uses non-null non-blank strings

joinNonBlank

public static <T> String joinNonBlank(String sep,
 T[] z)

joinNonBlank

public static <T> String joinNonBlank(String sep,
 int[] z)

joinNonBlank

public static <T> String joinNonBlank(String sep,
 double[] z)

joinNonBlank

public static <T> String joinNonBlank(String sep,
 NumberFormat fmt,
 double[] z)

join

public static <T> String join(String sep,
 Vector<T> v)

join

public static <T> String join(String sep,
 T[] x)

foundAny

public static boolean foundAny(String text,
 String[] keywords)

foundAnyWordStart

public static boolean foundAnyWordStart(String text,
 String[] keywords)

startsWithAny

public static boolean startsWithAny(String text,
 String[] keywords)

reverseArray

public static <T> T[] reverseArray(T[] x)

Creates a new array containing the same elements as x, but in reversed order. We can't use new T[x.length] ("generic array creation"), but we can piggyback on Arrays.copyOf()!

plural

public static String plural(String x,
 int n)

"cow" -> "cows"

roman

public static String roman(int n)

Converting to a roman numeral

Returns:

a lowercase Roman numeral, e.g. "mcmxli" for 1941

same

public static boolean same(Object a,
 Object b)

Returns true if both objects are non-nulls and equals() return true, or if both are nulls.

readTextFile

public static String readTextFile(File f)
                           throws IOException

Reads an entire text file into a string

Throws:

IOException

writeTextFile

public static void writeTextFile(File f,
 String data)
                          throws IOException

Writes a string into a new text file

Throws:

IOException

cap1

public static String cap1(String s)

Capitalizes the first character of a string

anySet

public static boolean anySet(boolean[] w)

Is any value set?

Returns:

The "OR" of all elements

toBitSet

public static BitSet toBitSet(Collection<Integer> v)

Converts a vector of integers to a BitSet

Returns:

A BitSet with bit i set for every i in v.

eachToString

public static <T> HashSet<String> eachToString(Collection<T> v)

stackToString

public static String stackToString(Exception ex)

copyFileUniqueLines

public static Util.CopyInfo copyFileUniqueLines(File f,
 File g)
                                         throws IOException

Copies the content of file f to file g, skipping any duplicate lines (even if the two identical lines are not next to each other). This is used to remove duplicates in transcript files.

Returns:

a statistics structure

Throws:

IOException
