Regular Expression multiple whitespaces

[superboss]

$string = "a b c";
$string2 = ereg_replace("/\s\s+/", " ", $string);

I am trying to convert the two whitespaces into one, why doesnt the code above work?

Try this (it works for me):

$string = "a b c";
$string2 = ereg_replace("[[:space:]]", "", $string);

Hope that helps!

It doesn't work because \s\s+ means
"one whitespace followed by one or more whitespaces"

if you change it to
\s+
"one or more whitespaces"
it should work.

Sorry I had written multiple spaces but suppose the form doesnt paste the posts in <pre> format. Anyway I changed the \s with " " and that worked out like a charm, thanks!
