另一种使用LINQ的方法:

 var list = str.Split(' ').Where(s => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(s));
 str = string.Join(" ", list);

使用正则表达式模式

    [ ]+    #only space

   var text = Regex.Replace(inputString, @"[ ]+", " ");

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."

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 (" ");

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.
