[PATCH] new string methods (capitalize, squeeze, stripLineBreaks)

Description

Three new string methods I've been using:

  • capitalize method which is pretty self-explanatory,
  • stripLineBreaks method... which replaces line breaks by " ", and
  • squeeze method which acts exactly like ruby's squeeze method and enables the following: 
'hello     world".squeeze(' ')                    // -> 'hello world'
'helloooooooo     world...!!!!!!!".squeeze('! o') // -> 'hello world...!'

etc.

unit tests are included.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.

Closed as wontfix.

String#capitalize() has already been included, String#stripLineBreaks() is an ugly name around a very simple regex... the only one that could be worth keeping is String#squeeze() but I'm not sure if there's much demand for it really.

Might post a new patch for it later on.
