Removing extra white space

[maeve.harrison9@mail.dcu.ie]

Hi

I am using S-Plus 6.2 on Windows NT and I am trying to remove extra white
spaces from a string.
I have used the strip.blanks() method to remove leading and trailing white
space, but I also want a function that will remove extra interior white spaces,
where "name    with        spaces" would be changed to "name with spaces",
with only one space between the words.


Thanks in anticipation for any help,
Maeve
