string sentence = "This is a sentence with multiple    spaces";
RegexOptions options = RegexOptions.None;
Regex regex = new Regex("[ ]{2,}", options);     
sentence = regex.Replace(sentence, " ");

Regex即使执行简单的任务也会相当慢。这将创建一个可用于任何字符串的扩展方法。

    public static class StringExtension
    {
        public static String ReduceWhitespace(this String value)
        {
            var newString = new StringBuilder();
            bool previousIsWhitespace = false;
            for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++)
            {
                if (Char.IsWhiteSpace(value[i]))
                {
                    if (previousIsWhitespace)
                    {
                        continue;
                    }

                    previousIsWhitespace = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    previousIsWhitespace = false;
                }

                newString.Append(value[i]);
            }

            return newString.ToString();
        }
    }

它将被这样使用:

string testValue = "This contains     too          much  whitespace."
testValue = testValue.ReduceWhitespace();
// testValue = "This contains too much whitespace."

// Mysample string
string str ="hi you           are          a demo";

//Split the words based on white sapce
var demo= str .Split(' ').Where(s => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s));
        
//Join the values back and add a single space in between
str = string.Join(" ", demo);
// output: string str ="hi you are a demo";

myString = Regex.Replace(myString, " {2,}", " ");

不使用正则表达式:

while (myString.IndexOf("  ", StringComparison.CurrentCulture) != -1)
{
    myString = myString.Replace("  ", " ");
}

可以在短弦上使用，但在有很多空格的长弦上表现不佳。

试试这个方法

private string removeNestedWhitespaces(char[] st)
{
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    int indx = 0, length = st.Length;
    while (indx < length)
    {
        sb.Append(st[indx]);
        indx++;
        while (indx < length && st[indx] == ' ')
            indx++;
        if(sb.Length > 1  && sb[0] != ' ')
            sb.Append(' ');
    }
    return sb.ToString();
}

像这样使用它:

string test = removeNestedWhitespaces("1 2 3  4    5".toCharArray());
