Bruno P. Kinoshita updated LANG-1108:

(was: Oh, today I learned :-)
I think this solves the first part, and the remainder can be solved via other
existing functions too?
{code}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String value = " This is quite the test. ";
System.out.println(value);
String value2 = StringUtils.normalizeSpace(value).replace(' ', '_');
System.out.println(value2);
}
{code}
Results in
{noformat}
This is quite the test.
This_is_quite_the_test.
{noformat}
So I think this can be achieved with existing functions from [lang] and JRE.
What do you think [~djmj]?)

>
> 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()
