Class PreparedString

java.lang.Object

alma.acs.commandcenter.util.PreparedString

public class PreparedString
extends java.lang.Object

Purpose of this class is to resolve placeholders in a source string like "my name is ?".

Invocation of the toString(String[]) method will resolve the placeholders to the elements of the string array. If the string array contains too few elements, placeholders characters will be left in the output string. If the string array contains too many elements, the superfluous elements will not be inserted in the output string.

Note: Relationship between PreparedString and VariableString: PreparedString uses positional parameters to replace placeholders with the elements of a string array. VariableString uses named parameters to replace placeholders with real values from a map.
