[clue-tech] Parsing text editor wanted

Hey all,

I'd like to parse text which has been cut and pasted from the Net into a
text file to be uploaded into a spreadsheet/database. While vi works,
the problem is multiple spaces to be deleted between the fields of text
to be imported.  The basic issue is a find and replace with a replace
all to remove the multiple spaces.

Does anyone have any text editor suggestion or a parsing suggestion to
clean up a large mess?  It looks like this below:

        Aurora, CO         303-456-7893      -      -         
www.myweb.net
Englewood, CO    303-321-6547     -      -  

Thanks in advance
