Stringabbr(String str, int length)
abbr 
if (str == null) {
    return "";
try {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    int currentLength = 0;
    for (char c : str.toCharArray()) {
        currentLength += String.valueOf(c).getBytes("GBK").length;
...
Stringabbrev(String longString, int size)
Returns the first size characters of the given string. 
return longString.length() <= size ? longString : longString.substring(0, size);
Stringabbrev(String result, int maxLength, String separator)
Make sure a string stays within a certain length, by cutting a bit from the middle. 
int mid = maxLength / 2;
if (result.length() > maxLength)
    result = result.substring(0, mid - 1) + separator + result.substring(result.length() - mid);
return result;
Stringabbreviate(final String str)
abbreviate 
return abbreviate(str, DEFAULT_ABBREVIATE_MAX_WIDTH);
Stringabbreviate(final String str, final int maxWidth)
abbreviate 
return str != null && str.length() > maxWidth ? str.substring(0, maxWidth - 3) + "..." : str;
Stringabbreviate(final String str, int lower, int upper, final String appendToEnd)
see WordUtils#abbreviate. 
if (str == null) {
    return null;
if (str.length() == 0) {
    return "";
if (lower > str.length()) {
    lower = str.length();
...
Stringabbreviate(final String value, final int maxLength)
abbreviate 
assert maxLength > 4;
if (value.length() > maxLength) {
    return value.substring(0, maxLength - 3) + "...";
} else {
    return value;
Stringabbreviate(final String value, int max)
Abbreviates the given value to max characters (if necessary).
If the value is abbreviated, the result ends with " ... 
if (value == null) {
    return null;
if (max < 0) {
    max = 0;
return value.length() > max ? value.substring(0, max) + "..." : value;
Stringabbreviate(String _str, int _length)
Abbreviates a String using ellipses. 
if (_str == null) {
    return null;
if (_str.length() <= _length) {
    return _str;
String abbr = _str.substring(0, _length - 3) + "...";
return abbr;
...
Stringabbreviate(String content, int maxWidth, String enc, String suffix)
abbreviate 
if (content == null)
    return "";
if (maxWidth < suffix.length())
    throw new IllegalArgumentException();
int ptr = maxWidth - suffix.length();
String str = null;
try {
    byte bytes[] = content.getBytes(enc);
