Dojo: Squeeze Repeated Spaces
EasyOne-Liner Dojo8 minThe brief
The file /root/messy.txt has runs of multiple spaces where there should be one. In ONE line, collapse every run of spaces down to a single space and write the cleaned text to /root/answer.txt.
This is exactly what tr's squeeze does — no sed regex needed. Squeeze repeats of the space character.
What you'll do
- Write /root/messy.txt with runs of spaces collapsed to one, to /root/answer.txt, in one line
