Answer 2

"this is a string".replace(/\s/g, 'nbsp;')

nbsp; should be the full entity ( ). StackOverflow is converting it to a space.

Answer 3

To answer the question, No, there isn't a way to do this without using Regex/String replace.

As others have indicated, using the JS String object methods such as replace() is your best bet.

Answer 4

So, when you said "Without using regular expressions" you meant "Using regular expressions".

FWIW, you can do it without regular expressions using

"This is a string".split(" ").join(" ");
