Henri Yandell commented on LANG-498:
------------------------------------

Or even:

{code:java}
        new AggregateTranslator(
            EscapeUtils.ESCAPE_JAVA,
            UnicodeEscaper.outsideOf(32, 0x7f)
        );
{code}

Though it's being a little buggy at me right now so not committed.

> 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. :-)
