How to replace two or more spaces with one comma?
I'm using sh on hp-ux. I've got a file that looks like this.

Code:
-5.65   175
-16.17  160
-13.57  270
-51.72  260
-8.30   360
-42.71  460
-.38    375
-.20    375
-4.15   170
-21.53  560
-18.84  360

I'd like to replace all the whitespace between the columns with one comma. I can't seem to get the awk, sed, and tr examples I've found to handle the repeating spaces very well.

Thank you!
