Can there only be one space in STR ING or is ST RI NG possible?

Colleagues
I have strings that contain a space in an unexpected location.
The
intended string is:
“STRING 01. Remainder of the string"
However, variants are:
“STR ING 01. Remainder of the string"
“STRIN G 01. Remainder of the string"
I would like a general approach to deleting a space, but only if
it
appears before the period. Any suggestions on a regular
expression
for this?
You aren't deleting the space before 0? Is that in the requirement?
