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

no Regex, no Linq... removes leading and trailing spaces as well as reducing any embedded multiple space segments to one space

string myString = "   0 1 2  3   4               5  ";
myString = string.Join(" ", myString.Split(new char[] { ' ' }, 
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries));

result:"0 1 2 3 4 5"
