Jodd is an open-source java library with lot of reusable components and feature rich utilities.
This requires the library jodd-3.3.2.jar to be in classpath.
The following example shows how to use StringUtil.lastIndexOfNonWhitespace() API.
It returns the last index of non-whitespace in the given string.
/**
* @param args
*/ public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(StringUtil.lastIndexOfNonWhitespace("a b c d"));
System.out.println(StringUtil.lastIndexOfNonWhitespace("ab bc cd de "));
System.out.println(StringUtil.lastIndexOfNonWhitespace("be the coder"));
System.out.println(StringUtil.lastIndexOfNonWhitespace(" "));
}
