------------------------
set theString to "The Text suite of the Satimage osax might be what you need:"
change " " into "" in theString
--> "TheTextsuiteoftheSatimageosaxmightbewhatyouneed:"
------------------------

"change" and its companion command "find text" accept regular expressions,
but you don't need them here. You would, for instance, if you had to
remove, say, all figures:

------------------------
set theString to "Latest version of Satimage osax is 2.4.3."
change "[0-9]" into "" in theString with regexp
--> "Latest version of Satimage osax is ..."
------------------------

The Satimage osaxim's dictionaries are on line:
