Remove white space from part of a string

I have the text:

SMS \r\n\t•    Map - locations of

How can I remove all of the white space between • and the first following character?

The above example should result in 

SMS \r\n\t•Map - locations of

You can use this Regex:

string toInsertBetween = string.Empty;
string toReplace = "SMS \r\n\t•    Map - locations of";
string res = Regex.Replace(toReplace, "•[ ]+([^ ])", "•" + toInsertBetween + "$1");

By using a regular expression it can be done like so:

var input = "SMS \r\n\t•    Map - locations of";

var regexPattern = @"(?<=•)\s+(?=\w)";
var cleanedInput = Regex.Replace(input, regexPattern, String.Empty);

This will replace any whitespace between • and the first word character with an empty string.

string s = "SMS \r\n\t•    Map - locations of";
string[] temp = s.Split('•');
s = temp[0]+temp[1].TrimStart(' ');
