Function To Censor String

Here is a function that censors a string, but leaves in all of the punctuation. It searches for strings of letters and numbers and if it matches "badword", will replace it with "[censored]".

public String censorString(String originalString)

{

StringBuffer orig = new StringBuffer(originalString);

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[0-9/A-Z/a-z]+");

Matcher m = p.matcher(orig);

StringBuffer censor = new StringBuffer();

boolean result = m.find();

while (result)

{

String match = originalString.substring(m.start(), m.end());

if(match.equals("badword"))

m.appendReplacement(censor, "[censored]");

result = m.find();

}

m.appendTail(censor);

return censor.toString();

}

Hiding the complex code behind a simple interface.

Think of using an electric toothbrush that has a simple on/off button on the plastic case and a complex motor/battery/charger functionality inside.

Single Purpose Principle

This is one of the most important principles in clean programming.

It applies to:

• Interfaces
  
• Classes
  
• Methods
  
• Whole Modules

The piece of code should be named to precisely reflect the functionality in contains and it should be developed,  and subsequently extended, to preform ONLY the functionality intended.

If there is a need to add different functionality, a new piece of code should be refactored out.
