I am looking for a Java 5 lbrary which let me compare some text as following lines returns true:
" foo bar " == "foo bar""foo\nbar" == "foo bar""foo\tbar" == "foo bar""féé bar" == "fee bar"Any suggestions?
I don’t think you’ll find a library with these specific rules. You’ll have to code them yourself. For some of the rules, regular expressions or even the
Stringframework methods can be useful, but, for the last rule, I think you’ll have to keep aMapof equality for those special chars. Then, you’ll have to iterate through each char in the string comparing them using this Map. And, since you’re iterating already through the string maybe you could apply all the rules in one iteration, avoiding regular expressions.
