It just occurred to me that since a String can be treated as an array of characters, you should be able to do a Linq query on it, so I tried it, and it seems to work quite well…
Dim Test = “The cat sat on the mat”
Dim Test2 = (From c In Test Select c Where c <> ” “).ToArray()
Console.Write(Test2)
Personally, I much prefer string processing this way than with Regular Expressions. Granted, it isn’t so versatile and is undoubtedly more processor intensive, but if you aren’t bothered about the clock cycles and it will do what you want, it is much easier to code and read!
