We have to write a JavaScript program that takes a variable user string through an input in HTML. Then through JavaScript the program should check for more than one consecutive spaces in the string.
And the program should replace all such instances of more than one consecutive spaces with only one space.

var textInput = textInput.replace(/\s{2,}/g, " ");
insertText.value = textInput;

</script>
<input type="text" id="insertText" value="containin extra space">
<button onclick="removeSpaces()">ok</button>
</body>
</html>And the output will be −
After clicking OK,
