http://dlang.org/phobos/std_ascii.html#.whitespace

is of string but

std.string.tr needs [string] as argument.

How does that work?

string a = test \t \t test;

writeln(a.tr(std.ascii.whitespace,_,s));

std.string.tr is my preferred choice here :)

Thanks!

It would be nice to have a lambda-variant of std.string.tr to 
call like


x.tr!isWhite(['_'])

If your text is ASCII, then there is std.ascii.whitespace that 
can be given as argument to std.string.tr.

Doh, that was too easy:

line.strip.splitter!isWhite.filter!(a = 
!a.empty).joiner(lineSeparator).to!S;


Sorry, for being lazy ;)

How can I extend

string line = carwash;

line.strip.splitter!isWhite.joiner(_).to!string

so that

car   wash

becomes

car_wash

and not

car___wash

?


Use std.string.tr.

std.string.squeeze might be more appropriate.
