Java how to replace 2 or more spaces with single space in string and delete leading spaces only
- by Nessa
Looking for quick, simple way in Java to change this string
" hello there "
to something that looks like this
"hello there"
where I replace all those multiple spaces with a single space, except I also want the one or more spaces at the beginning of string to be gone.
Something like this gets me partly there
String mytext = " hello there ";
mytext = mytext.replaceAll("( )+", " ");
but not quite.
