You can use regular expression to replace all consecutive spaces ss+ with a single space as string ' ', this will eliminate the spaces and keep only one space, then the $.trim will take care of the starting and/or ending spaces:

var string = hello,           how are you?       ;

console.log($.trim(string.replace(/ss+/g, ' ')));
