You will need to bring in the regular expression module:

%%%%
\version "2.20.0"

#(use-modules (ice-9 regex))

\markup
  #(regexp-substitute/global #f
    "[ \t]+"
    "this   is   the test"
    'pre "-" 'post)
%%%%

NOTE: I am using \markup above as a simple way to visualize the 
resulting string.
