Clearing a string in javascript: removing spaces, tabs

Question

Is it possible to clear the string by removing duplicate spaces, tabs, and line feeds, in general, so that the string is like this:

var str = "test           test
         test test";

And it became like this

var str = "test test test test";

I know $.trim in jQuery for this, but it will then remove just spaces at the end and beginning of the string.

Maybe there is a plugin, or a function?
