public synchronized void setLength( int newLength )
Parameters
- newLength
- the new length of the buffer.
Description
Sets the length of this String buffer.
If the newLength argument is less than the current
length of the string buffer, the string buffer is truncated to
contain exactly the number of characters given by the
newLength argument.
If the newLength argument is greater than or equal
to the current length, sufficient null characters
('\u0000') are appended to the string buffer so that
length becomes the newLength argument.
The newLength argument must be greater than or equal
to 0.
Exceptions
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
if the
newLength argument is invalid.
