String - Left, Right and Mid function

# re: String - Left, Right and Mid function

How about this instead?

public static class StringManager
{
public static string Left(string text, int length)
{
return (text.Length < length) ? text : text.Substring(0, length);
}

public static string Right(string text, int length)
{
return (text.Length < length) ? text : text.Substring(text.Length - length, length);
}

public static string Mid(string text, int start, int end)
{
return (text.Length < end + 1) ? text.Substring(start, text.Length-1) : text.Substring(start, end);
}

public static string Mid(string text, int start)
{
return (text.Length < start + 1) ? String.Empty : text.Substring(start, text.Length - start);
}

Or you could use the StringUtils class.

JAVA is case sensitive programming languange !!!

public class StringManager
{
public static String Left(String text, int length)
{
return text.substring(0, length);
}
public static String Right(String text, int length)
{
return text.substring(text.length() - length, length);
}
public static String Mid(String text, int start, int end)
{
return text.substring(start, end);
}
public static String Mid(String text, int start)
{
return text.substring(start, text.length() - start);
}

it should better be :

public static string Left(string text, int length)
{
return text.Substring(0, text.length()>length?length:text.length());
