[lang] StringUtils.strip
I have a problem with the strip method:
String number = "610-926-6598";
String newNumber = StringUtils.strip(number, "-");
System.out.println("newNumber: '" + newNumber + "'");
Output:
newNumber: '610-926-6598'
According to the JavaDoc, this should strip out the hyphens but it does
not. A matter of fact I cannot get it to strip anything.

From the javadoc you so conveniently linked to:
"Strips any of a set of characters from the start and end of a String. "
Note *start* and *end*.
