How do I replace multiple spaces with a single space in C#?

Question

How can I replace multiple spaces in a string with only one space in C#?

Example:

1 2 3  4    5

would be:

1 2 3 4 5         


        

Answer 1

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.
