String Feature for Extra White Space removal inside string

[junaidmifti]

I have been using C# and the likes of trim(), .toLower() has been of great use. But sometimes to trim extra spaces inside the string, which in my work is needed to done a lot, we need to go to the regex route or method extension.

If we could have a method called "NormalizeWhiteSpace()" which could normalize like below:
Original string: 'Hello World! How are you?'

Cleaned string: 'Hello World! How are you?'

Let me know what do you think? Thanks a lot. Happy to contribute.

This is not a C# language feature, neither ToLower/Trim methods. The language only contains string literal and interpolation. Methods are API that belongs to https://github.com/dotnet/runtime .

I don't expect it to get strong interest. Trimming characters in the middle is more complex than trimming from stard/end, and the definition of "whitespace" is also complex in term of Unicode.
