Sebb commented on LANG-498:
---------------------------
Seems useful to me, but maybe it would be better to name it as
toAsciiPrintable() or similar?
And perhaps it belongs in a different class.
> Add StringEscapeUtils.escapeText() methods

>
> I needed to escape text to be print out to a file; mainly so that all
> non-ASCII characters (< 32 and >=127) are printed out as escapes (if
> available) or unicode escapes. This is a one-way conversion, there is no way
> to find out whether a String contained "\\n" or a newline before conversion,
> so I just set up escapeText() methods, no unescapeText().
> Please apply to the next release of commons-lang. :-)
