filter question,  

[burntmatch2]

I am needing help with this.

Only when there is more than two consecutive spaces, it truncates
replacing them with a SPACE + ANSISPACE like '  '.

So like,

EXAMPLE BEFORE: The quick brown fox.
WOULD BE AFTER: The quick brown fox.

BEFORE: The quick brown fox.
AFTER: The quick  brown fox.

BEFORE: The quick brown fox.
AFTER: The quick  brown fox.

BEFORE: The quick brown fox.
AFTER: The quick  brown fox.

Should create such results. :-)

[burntmatch2]

s = s.replace(/(\ )\ +/g, "$1 ") ;

Thank you, very efficient :-)

I assume that English is not your first language.

This does what you ask for : S.replace(/ {3,}/g, " $nbsp;")
This does what you want : S.replace(/ {2,}/g, " $nbsp;")

It's a good idea to read the newsgroup c.l.j and its FAQ. See below.
