Given a text string such as " foo bar foo bar foo bar ",
where there are a variable number of spaces between each word, and 0
or more spaces at both start and end, I'd like to strip all
unnecessary spaces and get "foo bar foo bar foo bar". I can't seem
to get text delimiters working to do this. Is there an easy and fast
way?
Maybe that's easy and fast:
1 - install Satimage.osax
<http://www.satimage-software.com/en/downloads_osaxen.html>
2 - run:
set s to " foo bar foo bar foo bar "
change {"^ +", " +", " +$"} into {"", " ", ""} in s with regexp
-- "foo bar foo bar foo bar"
