====== TMSS10SingleSpace ======
Convert a file of words into a file delimited by a single delimiter.
===== Synopsis =====
''TMSS10SingleSpace [-d delimiter] [-g group]''
===== Description =====
TMSS10SingleSpace will read in a file on ''stdin'' and ensure the number of spaces between each word
is no more than one space and optionally replace the single space with an alternative delimiter then write
the record to ''stdout''.
===== Options =====

The options which apply to the TMSS10SingleSpace command are:
  * ''-d'' a single character that is to be used as a delimiter. If this argument is not passed the delimiter will be a single space.
  * ''-g'' a filter value that is to be matched against each element that may have embedded Strings so that the String is considered a single element.
<note tip>
When using the group argument the program will execute code that is highly recursive and this
will slow the program down considerably. This is probably still preferable to writing a custom
pre-processor, but where the input file is large and CPU consumption is expensive or time is
sensitive a pre-processor may be a better option.
</note>
===== Exit Status =====

  * **zero** Program has ended successfully.
  * **non-zero** Program has not ended successfully.
===== Environment =====
This program does not use any environmental variables.
===== Files =====
  * ''stdout'' Output Reports.
  * ''stderr'' Diagnostic messages.
  * ''stdin'' Program input.
===== Examples =====

Replace multiple spaces with a comma and group times.
<code>
TMSS10SingleSpace -d "," -g "??/??/???? ??:??"
</code>
