Issue
What function will turn this contains spaces
into this contains spaces
using javascript?
I've tried the following, using similar SO questions, but could not get this to work.
var string = " this contains spaces ";
newString = string.replace(/\s+/g,''); // "thiscontainsspaces"
newString = string.replace(/ +/g,''); //"thiscontainsspaces"
Is there a simple pure javascript way to accomplish this?
Solution
You're close.
Remember that replace
replaces the found text with the second argument. So:
newString = string.replace(/\s+/g,''); // "thiscontainsspaces"
Finds any number of sequential spaces and removes them. Try replacing them with a single space instead!
newString = string.replace(/\s+/g,' ').trim();
