I am downloading a log file from a security system as txt file, The log contain one or more lines where there is only single space between every 2 words, however, when i downloaded it and opened in notepad, I can see random multiple spaces are added between words.
Can anyone explains why this happens and how can i fix it?
One way to fix this is to load the text file in a text editor that supports regex (regular expression) find and replace (such as Notepad++). Then find all:
[space]+
and replace with:
[space]
where you type a space instead of literally typing [space].
Note that some editors will require regex to be encapsulated in forward slashes. For these editors, find:
/[space]+/
and replace with
/[space]/
Again, substituting a real space for [space].
