Hi, i am looking for something like
$ SELECT btrim(replace(' too many spaces! ', '\s+',' '), ''); too many spaces i searched the function list and tried to combine to or more functions, but i miss a replace function which uses regular expressions. Do i have to write my own function or did i miss something? trimming is well supported at the start and end of string, but no trimmin in the middle seems to be possible. kind regards janning ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
