Depending on what exactly you mean by “check spaces”, I think View > Show Symbol > Show spaces and tabs will be useful.

@PeterJones Thank you so much for your response. I mean to say that i want to find out the spaces(tabs) in between the words of a sentence.

Unfortunately that doesn’t help anyone help you.

Do you:

want to delete spaces between words?
convert multiple spaces into a single space?
change the spaces into another character?
something else?

Are you using Google translate, because that might assist? Type the question in your language, use Google translate to convert to English and post it here.

It sounds to me like what you want is to check if there are multiple spaces or tabs between words. For that purpose, the regular expression (?:(?![\r\n])\s){2,} should do what you want.

Just use the Mark all form (Ctrl+M with default keybindings), check Purge after each search, set Search Mode to Regular expression, enter (?:(?![\r\n])\s){2,} into the text box and hit Mark All. Then all multi-space sequences will be colored red.

This regular expression finds any sequence of two or more consecutive space characters other than newlines.
