String Formatter in GWT

Question

How do I format my string in GWT?

I made a method

  Formatter format = new Formatter();
    int matches = 0;
    Formatter formattedString = format.forma

I'm not keen on abusing string manipulation for doing regexps' job, but, based on bodrin's solution, you can code:

public static String format (String pattern, final Object ... args) {
    for (Object arg : args) {
        String part1 = pattern.substring(0,pattern.indexOf('{'));
        String part2 = pattern.substring(pattern.indexOf('}') + 1);
        pattern = part1 + arg + part2;
    }   
    return pattern;
}
