你只需要:

replaceAll("\\s{2,}", " ").trim();

你可以匹配一个或多个空格，用一个空格替换它们，然后在开头和结尾修剪空白(你实际上可以通过先修剪然后匹配来反转正则表达式，就像有人指出的那样)。

要快速测试，请尝试:

System.out.println(new String(" hello     there   ").trim().replaceAll("\\s{2,}", " "));

它会返回:

"hello there"

String blogName = "how to   do    in  java   .         com"; 
 
String nameWithProperSpacing = blogName.replaceAll("\\\s+", " ");

"[ ]{2,}"

这将匹配多个空格。

String mytext = " hello     there   ";
//without trim -> " hello there"
//with trim -> "hello there"
mytext = mytext.trim().replaceAll("[ ]{2,}", " ");
System.out.println(mytext);

输出:

hello there

可以使用字符串标记器

 String str = "  hello    there  ";
            StringTokenizer stknzr = new StringTokenizer(str, " ");
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
            while(stknzr.hasMoreElements())
            {
                sb.append(stknzr.nextElement()).append(" ");
            }
            System.out.println(sb.toString().trim());

使用Apache commons StringUtils。normalizeSpace(String str)方法。点击这里查看文档

public class RemoveExtraSpacesEfficient {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String s = "my    name is    mr    space ";

        char[] charArray = s.toCharArray();

        char prev = s.charAt(0);

        for (int i = 0; i < charArray.length; i++) {
            char cur = charArray[i];
            if (cur == ' ' && prev == ' ') {

            } else {
                System.out.print(cur);
            }
            prev = cur;
        }
    }
}

上面的解决方案是复杂度为O(n)的算法，没有使用任何java函数。
