    Is there a function in dotnet that allows me to trim user input so that:

    1) It gets rid of leading/trailing spaces, tabs, newlines and whatever other
    non-printing characters
    2) Gets rid of all tabs, newlines, and whatever other non-printing
    characters anywhere else, preferably replacing them with one space
    3) Takes any consecutive number of spaces and replace it with just one
    space.
