| Dec 30, 2009 at 17:55 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | The first one is totally pointless, \s\s+ means, an \s followed by one or more \s+, which can be reduced to a single \s+, the second example is more accurate because we only want to replace double spaces, not newlines, the third is more optimized because it only applies to examples with 2+ spaces. But str.replace(/ +(?= )/g,'');, only applies to examples with 2+ spaces but saves overwriting a space with a space step. | |
