[R] Odp: Remove space from string

[Bos, Roger]

I have NO knowledge of regexpr, but someone helped me out once and I put
it into a function I call "trim".  Here is the line I use:

function(x) gsub("^[[:space:]]+|[[:space:]]+$", "", x)

One more thing you can try.  Hope it helps, Roger

It seems to be simple. Even myself with very poor knowledge of regexpr
can suggest solution.

gsub(" ", "", a)
