Hello tyolu and welcome to the Java Programming Forums :D

You will need to read in the text file line by line and then re-write it out again.

There is a tutorial for reading a file line by line here:

Is the white space between words constant or does it change?

You can use Regular Expressions and String replace.

Let me know and I will help you with the code.
