我知道这很老了，但在尝试完成几乎相同的事情时偶然发现了它。在RegEx Buddy中找到了这个解决方案。该模式将用单个空格替换所有的双空格，并修剪开头和结尾空格。

pattern: (?m:^ +| +$|( ){2,})
replacement: $1

因为我们处理的是空格，所以读起来有点困难，所以这里还是用“_”代替了“空格”。

pattern: (?m:^_+|_+$|(_){2,})  <-- don't use this, just for illustration.

“(?M:" construct启用“多行”选项。我通常喜欢在模式本身中包含任何我可以包含的选项，这样它就更独立了。

老派：

string oldText = "   1 2  3   4    5     ";
string newText = oldText
                    .Replace("  ", " " + (char)22 )
                    .Replace( (char)22 + " ", "" )
                    .Replace( (char)22 + "", "" );

Assert.That( newText, Is.EqualTo( " 1 2 3 4 5 " ) );

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

string xyz = "1   2   3   4   5";
xyz = string.Join( " ", xyz.Split( new char[] { ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries ));

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

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());
