Method Detail

indentString

public static java.lang.String indentString(java.lang.String s,
                                            java.lang.String indent)

Add a string before each row of an existing string.

This function may be used by code generators in order to properly indent code. To be consistent with Reader's behavior, a line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r) or a carriage return immediately followed by a linefeed. In each case, the end of line characters are preserved as they are.
