C#

string input = "your   input   string";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(input.Length);
bool spaceAdded = false;
for (int i=0; i<input.Length; i++)
{
    char c = input[i];
    if (c == ' ')
    {
        if (!spaceAdded)
        {
            sb.Append(' ');
            spaceAdded = true;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        sb.Append(c);
        spaceAdded = false;
    }
}
string output = sb.ToString();
