Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on LANG-1108:
------------------------------------------
Great idea. I was looking for something similar and thinking whether that would
make sense in \[text\], but I think it makes sense to add it to \[lang\]. My
original wish for a function came from this "[TrimAllExcessSpaces
algorithm|https://algorithmia.com/algorithms/WebPredict/TrimAllExcessSpaces]";
from Algorithmia. Unfortunately I'm terrible with names, and have no good
suggestion for it.
> Function to replace multiple whitespaces by a character and trim

> Key: LANG-1108

> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.*
> Reporter: Marco Janc
> Fix For: Discussion
>
>
> In form applications where user can input data its very often not wished to
> have successive whitespace characters.
> A function that will replace multiple whitespace characters with a single
> space (or passed string/character) would be a nice feature since I myself
> repeat this method in many applications.
> Something like a shortcut for:
> value.replace("\\s+", " ").trim()
