Regex to replace multiple spaces with a single space

by

Given that you also want to cover tabs, newlines, etc, just replace \s\s+ with ' ': 

string = string.replace(/\s\s+/g, ' ');

If you really want to cover only spaces (and thus not tabs, newlines, etc), do so:

string = string.replace(/  +/g, ' ');
