So it very rarely a good idea to suppress exceptions, this leads to problems in your code down the road that are hard to track down.

You could also avoid Regex and make the code simpler by doing the following:

public static string RemoveWhitespace(this string str)

{

       return (str ?? string.Empty).Replace(" ", string.Empty);

}

I'd be more explicit and do nothing if the string were null or empty.

I think the regEx is to remove tabs and other whitespace, not just a space.

if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(str))

{

return str;

}

else

{

return ...

}

"catch (Exception)" is _always_ a bad idea. Only catch exceptions if you handle them. Otherwise don't!

ANy idea of a rugular expression to convert multiple spaces to single one.[also]

like " k  amr a   n " into "k amr a n"

@kamii47:

Try Regex.Replace(value, @"\s{2,}", " ")

If you *know* an exception can be raised then do what you can to prevent it in code *before* the exception is raised. Raising an exception is heavyweight C# in that it makes the CLR do a lot of work. You don't want to do this as part of a normal sequence of events. Then, let the application exception handler deal with the things that were really unexpected.
