Any suggestions for how to normalize and compress whitespace in a string? By normalize I mean convert tabs and soft spaces (extended ascii code 160) to spaces.
By compress I mean replace all runs of 2 or more spaces (after the normalization step) to a single space. I know I can use regular expressions to accomplish the above, but thought that might be too heavy handed. Thank you!
