The most frequently used members of this class are:

Some path name methods:

• MiscUtilities.getFileName(String)
• MiscUtilities.getParentOfPath(String)
• MiscUtilities.constructPath(String,String)

A MiscUtilities.compareStrings(String,String,boolean) method that unlike String.compareTo(), correctly recognizes and handles embedded numbers.

This class also defines several inner classes for use with the sorting features of the Java collections API:

• MiscUtilities.StringCompare
• MiscUtilities.StringICaseCompare
• MiscUtilities.MenuItemCompare

Arrays.sort(myListOfStrings, new MiscUtilities.StringICaseCompare());

Unlike String.compareTo(), this method correctly recognizes and handles embedded numbers.

? becomes ., * becomes .*, {aa,bb} becomes (aa|bb).

tools.jar is searched for in the following places:

1. the classpath that was used when jEdit was started,
2. jEdit's jars folder in the user's home,
3. jEdit's system jars folder,
4. java.home/lib/.

Unlike String.compareTo(), this method correctly recognizes and handles embedded numbers. For example, it places "My file 2" before "My file 10".

Parameters:
  str1 - The first string
Parameters:
  str2 - The second string
Parameters:
  ignoreCase - If true, case will be ignored negative If str1 < str2, 0 if both are the same,positive if str1 > str2

To get a whitespace string tuned to the current buffer's settings, call this method as follows:

myWhitespace = MiscUtilities.createWhiteSpace(myLength,
 (buffer.getBooleanProperty("noTabs") ? 0
 : buffer.getTabSize()));

To get a whitespace string tuned to the current buffer's settings, call this method as follows:

myWhitespace = MiscUtilities.createWhiteSpace(myLength,
 (buffer.getBooleanProperty("noTabs") ? 0
 : buffer.getTabSize()));

? becomes ., * becomes .*, {aa,bb} becomes (aa|bb).
Parameters:
  glob - The glob patternorg.gjt.sp.util.StandardUtilities.globToRE(String)

tools.jar is searched for in the following places:

1. the classpath that was used when jEdit was started,
2. jEdit's jars folder in the user's home,
3. jEdit's system jars folder,
4. java.home/lib/. In this case, tools.jar is added to jEdit's list of known jars using jEdit.addPluginJAR(), so that it gets loaded through JARClassLoader.

On older JDK's this method does not perform any checks, and returns true (even though there is no tools.jar). false if and only if on JDK 1.2 and tools.jarcould not be found. In this case it prints some warnings on Log,too, about the places where it was searched for.
