  Replace multiple spaces in a string in multiple places to just one space?

  Jun 13, 2014 09:34 AM|Jerry8989|LINK

  I have a multiline text box that I allow my users to enter or paste information that I upload to my database.

  I want to replace an carriage returns to a single space and I'm doing that with this code

  string sList = txtBulk.Text.Replace("\n", " ").Replace("\r\n", " ") ;

  I need to also replace multiple spaces with a single space.  How can I do this?

  If a user enters:

  "THIS          IS          A TEST"  I need it to transform to "THIS IS A TEST".

  Thank you

  This worked for me..

  string test = "THIS          IS          A TEST";
  Response.Write(test.Replace("  ", " "));

  You can also try with the LINQ approach to remove mutliple spaces and add only a single space.

  Sample Code:

                  //Your sample string
  		string strvalue ="THIS          IS          A TEST";
  
  		//Split the words based on white sapce
  		var list = strvalue.Split(' ').Where(s => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s));
  
  		//Join the values back and add a single space in between
                  strvalue = string.Join(" ", list);
