You guys are all doing this the hard way!
Regular expressions to the rescue!
Here's a complete test:
declare
tstr varchar2(100) := 'this contains tabs multiple spaces and
single spaces';
begin
dbms_output.put_line( tstr);
owa_pattern.change( tstr, '\s', '', 'g');
dbms_output.put_line( tstr);
end;
/
You may have to run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/owacomm.sql to build the
regular expression packages.
Read $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/pubpat.sql for details.
Want to know more about regular expressions? Read the perl docs on regular
expressions, look
in 'Programming Perl', or if you're really hard core, get Jeffrey Friedl's
book 'Mastering Regular Expressions'
