I hate regular expressions.

I fully well understand there power, but I simply can't understand how to create/format them properly.

Most of the reasons why I do things a slightly hard, yet still simple way.

I myself would just use something like:

Code:

regsub -all {  [^ ]*} $text "" text

My fault.

In that code, change the "return [join $b]" to "return [join $a]"

Hi,
Something is wrong here, because I got only the last word of string.

-----------------------------------
proc remspaces {string} {
set a

foreach b [split $string] {
if {$b == ""} { continue }
lappend a $b
}
return [join $b]
}

set dat ""
set dat "here is a test"
set dat [remspaces $dat]

putnotc $nick $dat

-----------------------------------

And result is : test

Thanks in advice

The forum, will not display spaces correctly, unless you place them in a "CODE" block.

However, this should remove the spaces.

Code:

proc remspaces {string} {  set a [list]  foreach b [split $string] {    if {$b == ""} { continue }    lappend a $b  }  return [join $b]}

Use like code

Code:

set mytext "hello  with      multiple spaces"set mytext [remspaces $mytext]

Hello,

Can someone help with this, I need to remove multiple spaces from string. For example I have "hello I am bot". I need to get this format "hello I am bot". How can I replace two or more spaces into one ?

Thanks for advices.
