Method Detail

assignMnemonic

public static String assignMnemonic(String label,
                                    Set used)

Assigns a mnemonic to a label and adds it to the set of used mnemonic characters. Used mnemonics are ignored in the search for a valid mnemonic. If there are no characters in the label that can be used as mnemonics then a valid mnemonic is appended to the label in parentheses. If the label already has a mnemonic, its mnemonic is added to the set of used mnemonics, but the label itself is unchanged.

Parameters:

label - the label in which the mnemonic is to be discovered

used - the set of Characters that cannot be used as mnemonics. This set is modified by the operation if a mnemonic could be found.

Returns:

the label with the mnemonic identified or the original label if a mnemonic could not be found.

usedFromString

public static Set usedFromString(String s)

This is a convenience method for constucting a "used set" by taking the individual characters of a string in both lower and upper cases and adding them to the set. Mnemonics are not case sensitive.

Parameters:

s - the String from which to construct the set.

Returns:

the set.
