// 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";

我刚刚写了一个我喜欢的新Join，所以我想我应该重新回答，用它:

public static string Join<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, string separator)
{
    return string.Join(separator, source.Select(e => e.ToString()).ToArray());
}

关于它的一个很酷的事情是，它通过在元素上调用ToString()来处理不是字符串的集合。用法还是一样的:

//...

string s = "     1  2    4 5".Split (
    " ".ToCharArray(), 
    StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries
    ).Join (" ");

混合StringBuilder和Enumerable.Aggregate()作为字符串的扩展方法:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

public static class StringExtension
{
    public static string CondenseSpaces(this string s)
    {
        return s.Aggregate(new StringBuilder(), (acc, c) =>
        {
            if (c != ' ' || acc.Length == 0 || acc[acc.Length - 1] != ' ')
                acc.Append(c);
            return acc;
        }).ToString();
    }

    public static void Main()
    {
        const string input = "     (five leading spaces)     (five internal spaces)     (five trailing spaces)     ";
        
        Console.WriteLine(" Input: \"{0}\"", input);
        Console.WriteLine("Output: \"{0}\"", StringExtension.CondenseSpaces(input));
    }
}

执行这个程序产生以下输出:

 Input: "     (five leading spaces)     (five internal spaces)     (five trailing spaces)     "
Output: " (five leading spaces) (five internal spaces) (five trailing spaces) "

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."

我可以用这个删除空格

while word.contains("  ")  //double space
   word = word.Replace("  "," "); //replace double space by single space.
word = word.trim(); //to remove single whitespces from start & end.

根据Joel的说法，巩固其他答案，并希望随着我的前进略有改善:

你可以用Regex.Replace()来实现:

string s = Regex.Replace (
    "   1  2    4 5", 
    @"[ ]{2,}", 
    " "
    );

或者使用String.Split():

static class StringExtensions
{
    public static string Join(this IList<string> value, string separator)
    {
        return string.Join(separator, value.ToArray());
    }
}

//...

string s = "     1  2    4 5".Split (
    " ".ToCharArray(), 
    StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries
    ).Join (" ");
