    Question How to remove the in-between spaces in a String? Please help.

    Dear javaprogrammingforum.com members and administrators,

    A greeting of peace. I hope and pray that every one is doing fine upon reading this forum.

    Well, I have a problem regarding String input. I already have a program that enters a name and the program will count the total letters used. But unfortunaely, if in case the user enters his/her whole name, of course he/she will enter spaces in between names, the program will still count the letters, but plus the spaces. I don't know to how remove those spaces in the String literal so that I may overwrite, or store in another String, object.

    Thank you for those who will give me some tips regarding this String manipulation.


    Respectfully Yours,

    Mark Squall

    If you only want letters to be counted (say, ignore numbers, spaces, and other characters) test to see if the character is a letter before adding it to the list:

    for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i++)
    {
         if (Character.isLetter(str.charAt(i))
         {
              count++;
         }
    }
