filtering repetitions of spaces
Nov 13 2008 | 2:15 pm
I have a string like this:
"some text with lots of spaces"
I want it to be changed to:
"some text with lots of spaces"
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?
Thanks.

- Nov 14 2008 | 1:08 pmwhen 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 guess you knew this already?i can recommend bbedit strongly for this (on mac).jrp
