The above won't quite do what you wanted, since it will replace
each white space sequence on any line with a single space. Try
it with the following input sequence:

 Q> echo "       Testing     .     Testing      ..." | test

Here's one that avoids that and other similar problems:

 Q> #!/bin/sh
 Q> cat >> /somedirectory/$1
