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

Hello,

String replaced = "test1 test2 test3 test4".replaceAll("\\s");

// Json

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++;
     }
}
