## STRTRIM Trim Spaces from a String

Section: String Functions

### Usage

Removes the white-spaces at the beginning and end of a string (or a cell array of strings). See `isspace` for a definition of a white-space. There are two forms for the `strtrim` function. The first is for single strings

       y = strtrim(strng)

where `strng` is a string. The second form operates on a cell array of strings

       y = strtrim(cellstr)

and trims each string in the cell array.

### Example

Here we apply `strtrim` to a simple string

    --> strtrim('  lot of blank spaces    ');
    -->
    quit

and here we apply it to a cell array

    --> strtrim({'  space','enough ',' for ',''})

    ans =

     ['space']   ['enough']   ['for']   []

    -->
    quit
