Remove multple EXTRA spaces from string

2010-04-23 Thread UXB Internet 

I am having a senior moment and can't for the life of me figure this dumb
thing out.  I am trying to remove all extra spaces from a string but leave
the single space there.  Example:
var=this has   many   extra  spaces and return with this has
many extra spaces

 I am having a senior moment 
Space, the final frontier. These are the ... (Oh, that kind of space)

I am not a regex guru. But maybe this?
cfset newStr = reReplace(str, [ ]{2,},  , all)

I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my
wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
