Replace any amount of space

[Frantic]

If I have a file like this:

I have a file that has space

How can I do a replace of any amount of space (1 to 20)? I'd like to take that line and replace it with something like : so I can then split into an array.

You'll want to do a RegEx lreplace. The pattern would be " +" (1 or more space) and you'd replace with the single character you want (either a single space or colon - whatever you prefer).

That is a bit odd, your sentance only has one space between each word.

Usually sentences do only have one space between each word...
