How do I replace multiple spaces with a single space in C#?
string sentence = "This is a sentence with multiple spaces";
RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.None;
Regex regex = new Regex("[ ]{2,}", options);
sentence = regex.Replace(sentence, " ");
I think Matt's answer is the best, but I don't believe it's quite right. If you want to replace newlines, you must use:
myString = Regex.Replace(myString, @"\s+", " ", RegexOptions.Multiline);
I like to use:
myString = Regex.Replace(myString, @"\s+", " ");
Since it will catch runs of any kind of whitespace (e.g. tabs, newlines, etc.) and replace them with a single space.
string xyz = "1 2 3 4 5";
xyz = string.Join( " ", xyz.Split( new char[] { ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries ));
