                                                                          T collection)
                                                               throws UnsupportedOperationException,
                                                                      IllegalArgumentException

Copies all elements from the iterable collection of originals to the collection provided.

Parameters:

token - String to search for

originals - An iterable collection of strings to filter.

collection - The collection to add matches to

Returns:

the collection provided that would have the elements copied into

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is immutable and originals contains a string which starts with the specified search string.

IllegalArgumentException - if any parameter is is null

IllegalArgumentException - if originals contains a null element. Note: the collection may be modified before this is thrown

startsWithIgnoreCase

public static boolean startsWithIgnoreCase(String string,
                                           String prefix)
                                    throws IllegalArgumentException,
                                           NullPointerException

This method uses a region to check case-insensitive equality. This means the internal array does not need to be copied like a toLowerCase() call would.

Parameters:

string - String to check

prefix - Prefix of string to compare

Returns:

true if provided string starts with, ignoring case, the prefix provided

Throws:

NullPointerException - if prefix is null

IllegalArgumentException - if string is null
