strip 2+ spaces or more

Post by macroman » Thu Nov 03, 2016 11:08 pm

Hello, is there anyway I can do a stringreplace to remove multiple spaces in between words? I have a variable that prints: "test 12 one world ok bye now"

how do I reduce those spaces to just a single space between each words?

Thanks in advance...

To replace one or more spaces with just one space you can eg do:

Code: Select all

Let>text=test 12 one world     ok    bye now
RegEx>%SPACE%+,text,0,m,nm,1,%SPACE%,text
MDL>text
