Hi,
I'm trying to remove multiple spaces from a string but can't seemed to get it to do what I want without creating a long subroutine.
I have a text file that contains various pieces of data that I want to import. However, there are gaps in between of various sizes. I want to cut them down to 1 space only.
The only way I can see to do this is to create various substituted strings of various lengths to make sure I get them all :
$str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i; $str =~ s/ / /i;
Is there an easier way to do this as I could end up with 48 of these from 2 spaces to 50 spaces?
Cheers! -- Dale
