GrovyListToStringConvertor

//Converts a list say
//List myList = ["user", "pwd","address1", "address2"] to 
//String resultStr = 'user','pwd','address1','address2'

//VERSION 1 of Code Written in Groovy but Inspired by Java  
//Even thought the following Code is written in Groovy its, 100% of how problem would have been in Java
if(!myList.empty)
  {
  //takes out the square bracket from either sides
   String resultStr=myList.substring(1, list_all_user_contacts.length()-1)
   //Relaces the "double quotes with ","
   resultStr=resultStr.replaceAll(",", "','")
   //Appends apostoles ' at the start and end
   resultStr="'"+resultStr+"'"
   println resultStr
   }
   


//Version2 : PURE Groovy, Checkout the Magic
 String quote="'"
 String resultStr="""$quote${myList.join("','")}$quote """
 println resultStr
