[jira] [Created] (LANG-1173) Addition of stripStartToChar

Satyanarayana J created LANG-1173:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Addition of stripStartToChar
                 Key: LANG-1173
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1173
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: lang.*
            Reporter: Satyanarayana J
            Priority: Minor


Looking for any possibility to add additional methods into StringUtils.
We already use stripStart , which strips set of leading whitespaces to empty.
As an addition, can we have below method?

* stripStartToChar(String str, String/Character char) - leading whitespaces to a specific character/string 
or
* stripStartAndReplace(String str, String stripChars, String/Character char) - leading characters to a specific character/string

These methods could be useful to strip leading whitespaces/characters with a replacement string/characters
