public static java.lang.String replace(java.lang.String value,
                                       java.lang.String from,
                                       java.lang.String to)

the replaced String

replace

public static java.lang.String replace(java.lang.String value,
                                       java.lang.String from,
                                       java.lang.String to,
                                       boolean aCaseSensitiveFlag)

Replaces from with to in given String: value

Parameters:

the replaced String

normalizePath

public static java.lang.String normalizePath(java.lang.String destination,

Parameters:

destination -

fileSeparator - a target-system fileseparator

Returns:

the normalized path

normalizePath

public static java.lang.String normalizePath(java.lang.String destination)

Parameters:

destination - accepted mixed form by java.File like "C:/a/mixed\path\accepted/by\Java"

Returns:

the normalized Path
