Using Regex here is the way, 

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(input, @”\s+”, ” “);

This will removes all whitespace characters including tabs, newlines etc.

First you need to split the whole string and then apply trim to each item.

  string [] words = text.Split(' ');
  text="";
  forearch(string s in words){
    text+=s.Trim();
  }
  //text should be ok at this time

You can use a regex:

public string RemoveMultipleSpaces(string s) 
{
    return Regex.Replace(value, @"\s+", " ");
}

After:

string s = "current            affairs  ";
s = RemoveMultipleSpaces(s);

Use a regular expression.

yourString= Regex.Replace(yourString, @"\s+", " ");

Regex can do the job

string_text = Regex.Replace(string_text, @"\s+", " ");

You can use regular expressions for this, see Regex.Replace:

var normalizedString = Regex.Replace(myString, " +", " ");

If you want all types of whitespace, use @"\s+" instead of " +" which just deals with spaces.

var normalizedString = Regex.Replace(myString, @"\s+", " ");
