Hi all
I'm have a character vector and would like to suppress the blanks if there are
more than one after the other.
Example:
Character value is: "abc def ghi"
The result should be: "abc def ghi"
I know that it's possible to delete the leading blanks with the command "trim".
But how can
> x <- "abc def ghi"
> gsub(" +", " ", x)
[1] "abc def ghi"

Thank you very much... this command is exactly what I need. I only had
something in the back of my mind that there is another command similar to trim
to suppress blanks/spaces.
But however, the gsub command works great...

[1] "abc def ghi"
