field value is a whitespace

I have a field that sometimes has only what appears to be a whatspace.  How would I replace the existing whitespace with a value of "none"?

| rex field=yourfield “/s/^\s$/yourvaluetoreplace/g”

 

Note: dont copy paste. The above solution works only if there is whitespace
