Regex for certain words causes Spaces
For instance i'm trying to search this string
"this is a search LLC which can end up having spaces"
using the below regex, it's working fine but when I match and then remove it's causes a bunch of white spaces, so I want to limit the number the white space to just 1, how could I go about adding that?
(?i)(?<=|^)LLC|end|having(?=|$)
this is a search LLC which can end up having spaces
this is a search which can up spaces
public static String removeValuesByRegex(String input, Pattern pattern, String replaceWith){
String result;
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
return result = matcher.replaceAll(replaceWith).trim();
}
Then in my test class im doing
String keywords = 'LLC|end|Having';
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile('(?i)(?<= |^)'|' + keyWords + ''|(?= |$)');
String stringResult = UtilString.removeValuesByRegex('This is a LLC and General Partnership Test ', pattern, '');

If you want to remove duplicate spacing, I recommend you call normalizeSpace
on the output:
String result = MyClass.myMethod(input, pattern, '').normalizeSpace();
Note from the documentation:
normalizeSpace()
Returns the current String with leading, trailing, and repeating white space characters removed.
Thanks, I missed that in the docs
