MemberDescription

Base36Decode

Decodes a base36 encoded string to an integer

public static long Base36Decode(string input)

Base36Encode

Encodes an integer into a string by mapping to alpha and digits (36 chars) chars are embedded as lower case

public static string Base36Encode(long value)

BinaryToBinHex

Converts a byte array into a BinHex string

public static string BinaryToBinHex(Byte[] data)

BinHexToString

Turns a BinHex string that contains raw byte values into a byte array

public static Byte[] BinHexToString(string hex)

BytesToString

Converts a byte array to a stringUtils

public static string BytesToString(Byte[] buffer,     Encoding encoding)

CountLines

Returns a line count for a string

public static int CountLines(string s)

ExtractString

Extracts a string from between a pair of delimiters. Only the first instance is found.

public static string ExtractString(string source,     string beginDelim,     string endDelim,     bool caseSensitive,     bool allowMissingEndDelimiter,     bool returnDelimiters)

FromCamelCase

Tries to create a phrase string from CamelCase text. Will place spaces before capitalized letters.

public static string FromCamelCase(string camelCase)

GetLines

Parses a string into an array of lines broken by \r\n or \n

public static String[] GetLines(string s)

GetProperty

Retrieves a value from an XML-like string

public static string GetProperty(string propertyString,     string key)

GetUrlEncodedKey

Retrieves a value by key from a UrlEncoded string.

public static string GetUrlEncodedKey(string urlEncoded,     string key)

Inlist

Determines if a string is contained in a list of other strings

public static bool Inlist(string s,     String[] list)

LogString

Simple Logging method that allows quickly writing a string to a file

public static void LogString(string output,     string filename)

NewStringId

Creates short string id based on a GUID hashcode. Not guaranteed to be unique across machines, but unlikely to duplicate in medium volume situations.

public static string NewStringId()

NormalizeIndentation

Strips any common white space from all lines of text that have the same common white space text. Effectively removes common code indentation from code blocks for example so you can get a left aligned code snippet.

public static string NormalizeIndentation(string code)

ParseDecimal

Parses an string into an decimal. If the value can't be parsed a default value is returned instead

public static decimal ParseDecimal(string input,     decimal defaultValue,     IFormatProvider numberFormat)

ParseInt

Parses an string into an integer. If the value can't be parsed a default value is returned instead

public static int ParseInt(string input,     int defaultValue,     IFormatProvider numberFormat)

ProperCase

Return a string in proper Case format

public static string ProperCase(string Input)

RandomString

Creates a new random string of upper, lower case letters and digits. Very useful for generating random data for storage in test data.

public static string RandomString(int size,     bool includeNumbers)

ReplaceString

Replaces a substring within a string with another substring with optional case sensitivity turned off.

public static string ReplaceString(string origString,     string findString,     string replaceString,     bool caseInsensitive)

ReplaceStringInstance

String replace function that support

public static string ReplaceStringInstance(string origString,     string findString,     string replaceWith,     int instance,     bool caseInsensitive)

Replicate

Replicates an input string n number of times

public static string Replicate(string input,     int charCount)

public static string Replicate(char character,     int charCount)

SetProperty

public static string SetProperty(string propertyString,     string key,     string value)

SetUrlEncodedKey

Allows setting of a value in a UrlEncoded string. If the key doesn't exist a new one is set, if it exists it's replaced with the new value.

public static string SetUrlEncodedKey(string urlEncoded,     string key,     string value)

StringToBytes

Converts a string into bytes for storage in any byte[] types buffer or stream format (like MemoryStream).

public static Byte[] StringToBytes(string text,     Encoding encoding)

StringToStream

Creates a Stream from a string. Internally creates a memory stream and returns that.

public static Stream StringToStream(string text,     Encoding encoding)

StripNonNumber

Strips all non digit values from a string and only returns the numeric string.

public static string StripNonNumber(string input)

TerminateString

Terminates a string with the given end string/character, but only if the value specified doesn't already exist and the string is not empty.

public static string TerminateString(string value,     string terminator)

TextAbstract

Returns an abstract of the provided text by returning up to Length characters of a text string. If the text is truncated a ... is appended.

public static string TextAbstract(string text,     int length)

ToCamelCase

Takes a phrase and turns it into CamelCase text. White Space, punctuation and separators are stripped

public static string ToCamelCase(string phrase)

TrimStart

Trims a sub string from a string

public static string TrimStart(string text,     string textToTrim,     bool caseInsensitive)

TrimTo

Trims a string to a specific number of max characters

public static string TrimTo(string value,     int charCount)

UrlDecode

UrlDecodes a string without requiring System.Web

public static string UrlDecode(string text)

UrlEncode

UrlEncodes a string without the requirement for System.Web

public static string UrlEncode(string text)

UrlEncodePathSafe

Encodes a few additional characters for use in paths Encodes: . #

public static string UrlEncodePathSafe(string text)
