      • isValidName

        @Deprecated
public static boolean isValidName​(java.lang.String name)
        Deprecated.
        method has been deprecated due to improper and widespread use. New methods include isValidProjectName(String) and LocalFileSystem.testValidName(String,boolean).
        Tests whether the given string is a valid. Rules:
        • All characters must be a letter, digit (0..9), period, hyphen, underscore or space
        • May not exceed a length of 60 characters
        Parameters:
        name - name to validate
        Returns:
        true if specified name is valid, else false

      • isValidProjectName

        public static boolean isValidProjectName​(java.lang.String name)
        Tests whether the given string is a valid project name. Rules:
        • Name may not start with period
        • All characters must be a letter, digit (0..9), period, hyphen, underscore or space
        • May not exceed a length of 60 characters
        Parameters:
        name - name to validate
        Returns:
        true if specified name is valid, else false

      • findInvalidChar

        @Deprecated
public static char findInvalidChar​(java.lang.String name)
        Deprecated.
        this method may be removed in a subsequent release due to limited use and applicability (project names and project file names have different naming restrictions).
        Find the invalid character in the given name.

        This method should only be used with isValidName(String)} and not isValidProjectName(String)

        Parameters:
        name - the name with an invalid character
        Returns:
        the invalid character or 0 if no invalid character can be found
        See Also:
        isValidName(String)

      • mangle

        public static java.lang.String mangle​(java.lang.String name)
        Returns a string such that all uppercase characters in the given string are replaced by the MANGLE_CHAR followed by the lowercase version of the character. MANGLE_CHARs are replaced by 2 MANGLE_CHARs. This method is to get around the STUPID windows problem where filenames are not case sensitive. Under Windows, Foo.exe and foo.exe represent the same filename. To fix this we mangle names first such that Foo.exe becomes _foo.exe.
        Parameters:
        name - name string to be mangled
        Returns:
        mangled name

      • demangle

        public static java.lang.String demangle​(java.lang.String mangledName)
        Performs the inverse of the mangle method. A string is returned such that all characters following a MANGLE_CHAR are converted to uppercase. Two MANGLE chars in a row are replace by a single MANGLE_CHAR.
        Parameters:
        mangledName - mangled name string
        Returns:
        demangle name

      • isValidMangledName

        public static boolean isValidMangledName​(java.lang.String name)
        Performs a validity check on a mangled name
        Parameters:
        name - mangled name
        Returns:
        true if name can be demangled else false
