I know the object I want is regexp and I know that I need to say:

'Look for all spaces followed by any number of spaces and replace with one space'

but I can't seem to write it out correctly.

I had a look at this but still struggling. Can someone point me in the right direction?

"some   text with     lots  of     spaces"

I had a look at this but still struggling. Can someone point me in the right direction? 

filtering-repetitions-of-spaces

That didn't work as the forum filters out repetitions on spaces anyway.

I also found that doing [fromsymbol] - [tosymbol] worked but definitely not the best way.

shortening multiple spaces into one is actually just a simple html feature, unless you explicitly write a "

when writing javascript (or any code actually) you should use a dedicated code editor to strip out unwanted carriage returns, line breaks, tabs, spaces, etc. 

a normal text software (like word) will unintentionally create those while you type, unless you set it to plain text edit (.txt) without any further visual formatting options.

i can recommend bbedit strongly for this (on mac).
