PowerShell: Removing White Space Characters

Requirement:

We have 1000+ text files with incorrect formats. We need a script to remove white spaces as a start and later we may do formatting manually.

Solution:

It's quite possible to do it using PowerShell. But, very difficult to predict your source.

PowerShell Code:

"My File          has           in   correct format" -replace "\s{2,}" , " "

You can us regular expressions to do it.

Note: This is a base logic - 'Do REGEX as required.' If there is a space between one single word it will not be formatted.

Enjoy PowerShell !!
