Remove white space from text

Using a regex, how can I remove whitespace greater that 1 char in lines of text using WildEdit.
in: The quick brown fox.
out: The quick brown fox.

There should be extra spaces in the "in:" string. Sorry

To post text "as is" you can use the Code tag

in: The     quick     brown      fox.
out: The quick brown fox.

Find \s+
Replace with X
where X=space
using Regular expression and Replacement format - HTH

First, thanks. It only seemed to remove one space in each group. I have 'replacement format' checked and 'regex', but can't find reference to HTH.

You must have left out the plus sign (+), make sure the regex reads \s+
I Hope That Helps

It seems that monospace had to be checked in order for this to work. Again, thanks.
