## DEBLANK Remove trailing blanks from a string

Section: String Functions

### Usage

The `deblank` function removes spaces at the end of a string when used with the syntax

       y = deblank(x)

where `x` is a string, in which case, all of the extra spaces in `x` are stripped from the end of the string. Alternately, you can call `deblank` with a cell array of strings

       y = deblank(c)

in which case each string in the cell array is deblanked.

### Example

A simple example

    --> deblank('hello   ')

    ans =

     hello

    -->
    quit

and a more complex example with a cell array of strings

    --> deblank({'hello  ','there ','  is  ','  sign  '})

    ans =

     ['hello']   ['there']   ['  is']   ['  sign']

    -->
    quit
