Method Detail

escapeJava

public static java.lang.String escapeJava(java.lang.String str)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Escapes the characters in a String using Java String rules.

Deals correctly with quotes and control-chars (tab, backslash, cr, ff, etc.)

So a tab becomes the characters '\\' and 't'.

The only difference between Java strings and JavaScript strings is that in JavaScript, a single quote must be escaped.

Example:

 input string: He didn't say, "Stop!"
 output string: He didn't say, \"Stop!\"
 

Parameters:

str - String to escape values in, may be null

Returns:

String with escaped values, null if null string input

Throws:

java.io.IOException
