Jquery remove all spaces in string except between words not working

Question

I want to remove all white spaces from string except except between words,i try the following,but its not working.

Input String

=  IF  ( @F_28º@FC_89º =  " @Very strongº "  , 100 ,  IF  ( @F_28º@FC_89º =  " @Above Averageº "  , 75 ,  IF  ( @F_28º@FC_89º =  " @Averageº "  , 50 ,  IF  ( @F_28º@FC_89º =  " @Below Averageº "  , 25 ,  IF  ( @F_28º@FC_89º =  " @Cannot determineº "  , 0 ,  IF  ( @F_28º@FC_89º =  " @Poorº "  , 0 , 0 )  )  )  )  )  )

I want to remove all spaces except words like

Very strong
Above Average etc

I tried this regex from this question:

str.replace(/\s/g, '')

but its also not working.

it seems like you want to remove all spaces except spaces that appear between @ and º - would that be a fair assessment? — Jaromanda X

Something like this \s+(?![a-zA-Z])?

Applied to the string you posted, the result is:

= IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Very strongº",100, IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Above Averageº",75, IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Averageº",50, IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Below Averageº",25, IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Cannot determineº",0, IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Poorº",0,0))))))

Fiddle

This one \s+(?![a-zA-Z])|\s+(?=IF) also removes spaces before IF word:

=IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Very strongº",100,IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Above Averageº",75,IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Averageº",50,IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Below Averageº",25,IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Cannot determineº",0,IF(@F_28º@FC_89º="@Poorº",0,0))))))

If I am understand correctly you want to trim the leading and trailing spaces in the string?

$.trim(str);
