Duncan Jones commented on LANG-1108:
------------------------------------
bq. A function that will replace multiple whitespace characters with a single
space (or passed string/character) would be a nice feature
[{{StringUtils.normalizeSpace()}}|http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-release/org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils.html#normalizeSpace-java.lang.String-]
solves the first part of this problem. Do we need to solve the remainder?

>
> 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()
