Re: Reaplcing double spaces

[ducky]

Hmmm... tr just does translating. ie, First character in the left hand list gets replaced with the first character in the right hand list, etc. Try replacing tr with s and adding "g" to the end. If you've got a variable number of spaces something like: s/ +/|/g should work.

(see update II) Since it's 2 or more, use this: s/  +/|/gThat's two spaces, then a + to gobble the additional spaces.

Sorry, guys. I did not made one point very clear:

I need to replace ONLY two or more spaces. If there is only one space it have to be left the way it is. So, for a new example:

Apple Pie    Banana Ice    Lemon Juice

What I need:

Apple Pie|Banana Ice|Lemon Juice

Any thoughts?
