更健壮的:

function trim(word)
{
    word = word.replace(/[^\x21-\x7E]+/g, ' '); // change non-printing chars to spaces
    return word.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');      // remove leading/trailing spaces
}

var str = "The      dog        has a long tail,      and it is RED!";
str = str.replace(/ {2,}/g,' ');

编辑: 如果你想替换所有类型的空白字符，最有效的方法是这样的:

str = str.replace(/\s{2,}/g,' ');

var text = `xxx  df dfvdfv  df    
                     dfv`.split(/[\s,\t,\r,\n]+/).filter(x=>x).join(' ');

结果:

"xxx df dfvdfv df dfv"

尝试用一个空格替换多个空格。

<script type="text/javascript">
    var myStr = "The dog      has a long   tail, and it     is RED!";
    alert(myStr);  // Output 'The dog      has a long   tail, and it     is RED!'

    var newStr = myStr.replace(/  +/g, ' ');
    alert(newStr);  // Output 'The dog has a long tail, and it is RED!'
</script>

我有一个方法，我叫它Derp方法因为没有更好的名字。

while (str.indexOf("  ") !== -1) {
    str = str.replace(/  /g, " ");
}

在JSPerf中运行它会得到一些令人惊讶的结果，它击败了一些更复杂的方法EDIT原始JSPerf链接http://jsperf.com/removing-multiple-spaces/3当时似乎已经死了
