Pascal Schumacher commented on TEXT-74:
---------------------------------------
Issue moved from commons-lang to commons-text because StrSubstitutor is
deprecated in commons-lang and was moved to commons-text.
> StrSubstitutor: Ability to turn off substitution in values
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TEXT-74
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-74
> Project: Commons Text
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Arend v. Reinersdorff
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: features
>
> In StrSubstitutor variable replacement works in a recursive way. And
> currently there's no way to turn this off.
> Why turn it off: I want to replace some variables in a simple template. Some
> of the replacemnt values are arbitrary user input.
> At the moment I escape all dollar signs in the replacement values with "$$".
> This is annoying. Especially as I use one template with variables as a value
> for another variable. Here I have to escape twice.
> Here's some example code. At the moment it prints "Hello world". The
> commented line is my suggestion for this feature. If it works, it should
> print "Hello ${key2}":
> Map<String, String> valueMap = new HashMap<>();
> valueMap.put("key", "$${key2}");
> valueMap.put("key2", "world");
> String source = "Hello ${key}";
> StrSubstitutor strSubstitutor = new StrSubstitutor(valueMap);
> // strSubstitutor.setEnableSubstitutionInValues(false);
> System.out.println(strSubstitutor.replace(source));
