Package org.jtr.transliterate Description

Performs Perl 5-style transliterations on a given string. Most Perl 5 features are supported, including complements, squashing of duplicate replacement characters, and deletion of characters found in the search list, but with no equivalent in the replacement list. Patterns are compiled for speed, and runtime performance is fast.

A simple example:

String aInput = "This is a test, 123.";
CharacterReplacer cReplacer = Perl5Parser.makeReplacer( "tr/a-zA-Z0-9/_/s" );
String aResult = cReplacer.doReplacement( aInput );
int nMatches = cReplacer.getMatches();

And remember, its spelled j-t-r, but pronounced "jitter" ;-)
