str_squish_line_breaks: Trim strings with repeated line breaks

In IntegralEnvision/integral: Integral Consulting Public Package

Trim strings with repeated line breaks

Description

Removes line breaks (\n and \r) from the start and end of a string and repeated line breaks inside a string.

This is an analogue of stringr::str_squish(), which trims white space from the start and end of a string and removes repeated whitespace inside a string. However stringr::str_squish() will replace line breaks inside a string with a space, which is not always desired.

Note that if there is a repeat of two different line break characters, i.e. a newline (\n) and line return (\r), the first occurrence will be kept.

See: https://github.com/tidyverse/stringr/issues/477
