Removing whitespace from strings in Java

st.replaceAll("\\s+","") removes all whitespaces and non-visible characters (e.g., tab, \n).

st.replaceAll("\\s+","") and st.replaceAll("\\s","") produce the same result.

The second regex is 20% faster than the first one, but as the number consecutive spaces increases, the first one performs better than the second one.

Assign the value to a variable, if not used directly:

st = st.replaceAll("\\s+","")
