regex help (how to match string with potential spaces or not)

[titan nyquist]

how can i match a string, of unknown length, when it may OR MAY NOT
contain spaces?

for example, these should all match "testing":

testing
test ing
t esting
t e s t i n g

i'm not sure how to set the regex... any help is appreciated

Hi,

What about if you simply remove the spaces BEFORE matching it?

string s= "t e s t".Replace(" ","");
