Hi
Can anyone supply me with a small C# example program that will replace the white spaces in the string example below, with one comma?

--String Example--

"Dogs      Cats            Birds                       Snakes"

--End--

Thanks

P.S. Please vote my question up/down! ;)

This should do the trick I think;

C#

string input = "Dogs      Cats            Birds"
string pattern = "\\s+";
string replacement = ",";
Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);
string result = rgx.Replace(input, replacement)

Hope this helps,
Fredrik
