SpringBoot Enhancement-StringBuilder to provide replace(CharSequence target, CharSequence replacement) like String which will make it more easier to manipulate existing StringBuilder instead of creating new for these kind of replacement.

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot StringBuilder to provide replace(CharSequence target, CharSequence replacement) like String which will make it more easier to manipulate existing StringBuilder instead of creating new for these kind of replacement.StringBuilder offer public StringBuilder replace(int start, int end, String str) for replacement of substring, but if in case start(starting index) and end(ending index) of substring to be replaced in not known then there is no inbuilt method like replace(CharSequence target, CharSequence replacement) is present which can make the task easier like String.

I'm guessing this was opened in error as I can't see any direct link to Spring Boot. @Shivangip285 if that's not the case, please provide some more details and we can take another look.

Sorry, I still don't see the connection to Spring Boot. StringBuilder is part of the JDK so we cannot change it. Perhaps you're suggesting that we should be using StringBuilder differently somewhere? If so, please link to some Spring Boot code and describe the change that you think we could make.

Hello Andy, I had been recently working on a project where we were producing many events with unique identifier as string or number. For string we have inbuilt thing like uuid but no such thing for unique number, though we have used a custom function for it , but I had been wondering why we don't have something like this in spring boot, are we planning to have some feature in future. Please let me know if in case you are planning to have something like this would like to contribute. Thanks and regards Shivangi Pandey

@Shivangip285 We're not planning to add anything like that to Spring Boot itself. It feel out of scope for this project.

Ok, thanks.
