javascript - Regex to remove unwanted space between unique characters -

we using ocr extract text images. 1 of annoying problems ocr, got sometime unwanted space, because ocr found word big tracking between characters.

for example got:

var text = "cha blis 1 er cru controleec b e u r o y c chablisienne"

i tried do:

test.replace(/([a-z])\s(?=[a-z]\b)/, '$1')

but if so, got results:

cha blis 1 er cru controleecbeauroyc chablisienne

but expected results should be:

cha blis 1 er cru controleec beauroyca chablisienne

my absolute need regroup single character but, not change other words.

if:

var text = "cha blis 1 er cru controleec beau r o y c chablisienne"

it should output:

cha blis 1 er cru controleec beau royca chablisienne

i didn't succeed yet after hours spent found right combination.

ps : no difference of treatment has done between upper , lowercase.

if need stick single separated letters together:

\b([a-za-z])\s+(?!\w\b)

otherwise use single \b word boundary token:

\b([a-z])\s+(?![^a-z])
