I'm currently in a bit of a pickle.
I have a text box the user enters an address into, which is then sent as part of a url.
Currently, the solution I have works well with a single word - say "Brighton".
But, if the user wants to add more detail to the query - say, a street address, I run into issues.
32 Sydney Street, Brighton, The City of Brighton and Hove BN1 4EP, UK
What would be the best way to change it to - I think a regex would do it, but I've always struggled with them.
32+Sydney+Street+Brighton+The+City+of+Brighton+and+Hove+BN1+4EP+UK
I'm currently doing this - which I think is messy, and well, just not good programming.
It'd get even more gross if I add conditionals for '++'
String[] strArray = str.split(" ");
int strSize = strArray.length;
// Puts the split array back together, and add a plus between the words
str = "";
for (int i = 0; i < strSize; i++) {
if (i < (strSize - 1))
str += strArray[i] + "+";
else
str += strArray[i];
}
return str;
All the ways I'm thinking of run the risk of having two ++ in a row (which would invalidate the url), or are really 'gross' code.
Thanks for your time
