Double to Single Space Converter

(1/2) > >>

HOTGA:
Please can some one write a program to convert double and triple spaces in text copied from pdf's and word document to single space. I cut a lot of text from pdf documents into word tables and it always has double and sometimes triple spaces between the text and I have to do lots of find and replace in word to change double to single space (sometimes multiple times on the same piece of text) - use this program (http://www.freewaregenius.com/2007/07/04/clipcase/) "ClipCase" to try to this but it never works on the double spaces - HELP!!

mouser:
you can use a clipboard tool like my Clipboard Help+Spell and define a text formatting preset to do this; then just select your text and hit a hotkey and run the text formatter on it to do what you want.

lanux128:
try this AHK script to replace the unwanted whitespaces with one single whitespace. use the win+alt+v hotkey to process the clipboard and paste the content.


--- ---#!v::
clipboard = %clipboard%   ; change to plain text
clipnospace := RegExReplace(clipboard, "` {2,}", "` ")
clipboard = %clipnospace%
Send ^v
Return

HOTGA:
I have d/l'dclipboard help and spell - thanks - please tell me what type in the find and replace box of the modify format/case settings - I tried normal double space replaced with single - does not work, [:space:] replaced with [:space:][:space:] - does not work, [:space:]{2} replaced with normal space not luck! HELP (please)

HOTGA:
