I want to clean up a string by reducing all double, triple, etc. spaces to a single space.

______________________________________________________________________

For speed and ease of use I like the Satimage osax for this sort of thing:

 set theString to "This has  extra spaces.
   I want them  removed."

set newString to change " +" into " " in theString with regexp without case sensitive

~~~~~

This has extra spaces.
 I want them removed.
