Yes, but it's easier overall to do as he requested, so that he doesn't have to worry about any empty elements.

Trivial:

Code:

var s = "               test1 test2 test3                                  test4 ";

var arr = s.replace(/\s+/g, " ").replace(/(^\s|\s$)/g,"").split(" ");

First, reduce all multiple spaces to one space. Then trim the space (if any) off the front and back of the string. Then split on space.
