[Solved] Keep track of string matches to create a new ID

by


I would probably consider doing this another way…

Have an empty hashmap<String sub, int multiplier>
Read in the name
Generate the subname
Fetch from or create subname in hashmap
  If new, set multiplier to 1
  If exists, increment multiplier
Return String.format(“%s%3d”, subname, multiplier x 5).toUpperCase()

I would give you code but writing the above was hard enough on an iPad ?
