For example, I have the sentence '   I will  go to           the   cinema' . I need this sentence to be written as 'I will go to the cinema'. I need to delete the extras spaces.

        @Tiziano dos Santos - you could perhaps use strsplit to split the string on the space character and will create a cell array of strings (the words from your sentence). You could then use join to combine the words with a space between each one (may also need to trim the string first). 
There is also probably a clever (better way to do this using) regexprep command that will do the same thing. I tried it and it wasn't too difficult to do.

				S = '   I will  go to           the   cinema' 
newS = regexprep(strtrim(S), '\s+', ' ')
