Fixing 'two spaces between sentences'?

[fogice]

Is there a quick option I can select in the Editor (or in Convert, or some other plugin) to replace all occurrences of two (or more) spaces together? Many online writers that I download with FancFicFare are prone to using two spaces between every sentence, which I find ugly to read on an ereader.

You could try a search for one or more spaces following a punctuation mark and replace with the punctuation mark and a single space.

Something like '(\p{P})\s+' and '\1 ' removing the 's.

Just search for two spaces and replace with a singe space.

Yes, repeatedly for all, in case there are 2+ spaces on occasion.
There is no valid reason for more than one space ever, anywhere.
You can use regex to entirely delete a space at the start or end of a paragraph for entire file.

Yup, that does it. Thanks. I was hoping there was a clickable option similar to "remove space between paragraphs" that I had overlooked, so I don't have to look this code up every time. I tried to learn regex once, but it didn't stick.

Unless they're non-breaking spaces or entities (or they have "whitespace: pre" css applied), you'd probably never see back to back spaces between sentences on an ereader. Consecutive whitespace characters are typically collapsed into one space in html renderers.
