Next time show some effort before posting a question.

$tsr =~ s/\s+/ /g;

And use the code tags to post code. See the posting guidelines.

You can also use this Regex. to produce exact output.

$tsr =~ s/ {1,}/ /g;

$tsr =~ s/ {1,}/ /g;
 

Essentially, that does the same thing as Kevin's regex. It produces the "exact" same output.

[cnsabar]

Yes, it produce exact output.
but, I thought there may be line break in the given string.

doesn't look like it. The text is included in the variable assignment.
