Replace consecutive white spaces with a single space

I am aware of str.replaceAll("\\s+", " "); but this replaces \n and other things too. I only want to replace multiple one after another with a single .

Most regex flavors considers \n as whitespace. Same about \r or \t.

If you want to replace only one or more " " the simply use replaceAll(" +", " ")
