Hey @garydgregory |

Needs further thought: I don't think it makes sense to overcrowd this class with more "ignore case" versions of methods and to also have "any" or "all" versions of methods. Instead, we should consider another design, maybe having a string util class with a subclass for case sensitive and another for cases insensitive matches, for example. |

I'm not sure if that would be user-friendly, as most users are used to one single class for all operations with strings, numbers, lists, sets etc. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I agree that this class is getting cluttered.
However if the method is added, at least the Javadoc examples should have the correct method name
Adding
StringUtils.startsWithAnyIgnoreCaseto have more flexibility.Based on the existing
