Its simple using sed command.

Here is the demo:

$ echo "HELLO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE" | sed 's/ //g'
HELLOTHISISANEXAMPLE

so, ur command would be

sed 's/ //g' inputfilename > outputfilename
3

Below command will statisfy any number of space.

sed 's/ *//g' inputfilename > outputfilename

Input:
402665,4X75,754X_FERNIE BC,12F2,008708,FERNIE BC,1,UTC ,UTC ,250
402665,4X75,754X_FERNIE BC,F212,008708,FERNIE BC,1,UTC ,UTC ,250
402665,4Y75,754Y_FERNIE BC,22F2,008708,FERNIE BC,1,UTC ,UTC ,250

Output:
402665,4X75,754X_FERNIEBC,12F2,008708,FERNIEBC,1,UTC,UTC,250
402665,4X75,754X_FERNIEBC,F212,008708,FERNIEBC,1,UTC,UTC,250
402665,4Y75,754Y_FERNIEBC,22F2,008708,FERNIEBC,1,UTC,UTC,250
