Add StringEscapeUtils.escapeText() methods
------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-498
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-498 Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 3.x, 2.x
Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen
Attachments: LANG-498.patch
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. :-)
