Re: How can I strip an arbitary number of "inner" spaces from a string?

Is s/^(From:)\s+/$1/; good enough? or maybe s/^([^:]+:)\s+/$1/;?

Update: Added missing ':'

A bit shorter but should still work okay: `s/(\:)\s+/$1/` [download] or just for fun: `s/(:) +/$1/` [download] Second probably has loads of reasons why it'll fall over in other cases but seems to work fine here.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
