Color

  public static String[] cgiParamToStrings(String s)

Convert single string in CGI parameter format to an array of 2 strings. The 0th element is the parameter name and the 1st element is the parameter value.

cgiParams

  public static Hashtable cgiParams()

Read System.in and convert CGI-format parameters to a Hashtable of name/value pairs. The length of the data to be read is determined by the property CONTENT_LENGTH (preferably) or, if not present, by the number of bytes available to read.

See Also:

Hashtable, getProperty

  public static Hashtable cgiParams(int content_length)

Read System.in and convert CGI-format parameters to a Hashtable of name/value pairs. The length of the data to be read is determined by content_length.

Hashtable

  public static void writeString(DataOutput d,
                                 String s) throws IOException

Write a String to a DataOutput source. Strings are transmitted as an int, the length, followed by the bytes of the String itself.

See Also:

DataOutput

  public static String readString(DataInput d) throws IOException

Read a String from a DataInput source. The String must have been sent by StringUtil.writeString.

See Also:

DataInput

  public static float fractionalToFloat(String s) throws NumberFormatException

Convert a fractional String to it's decimal equivalent. e.g. "2 1/4".

  public static String stringFromFile(String file) throws IOException

Create a string initialized with the contents of a file.

  public static void toFile(String s,
                            String file) throws IOException

Store a String in its own file.

  public static int indexOfMatched(String s,
                                   int startAt)

Returns the index of the matching '{', '[' or '(' character in the given String. The char to be matched must be in position startAt in the string.

  public static Hashtable hashtableFromString(String s)

Converts a String to a Hashtable. The String must have been produced by Hastable.toString(). This method converts both the key and value to objects of type String. Useful for writing out Hashtables to permanent storage and then reading them back in.

Warning: This will fail miserably if any of the keys or values have '=' chars in them.
