[c#] How to remove leading and trailing spaces from a string

You can use:

  • String.TrimStart - Removes all leading occurrences of a set of characters specified in an array from the current String object.
  • String.TrimEnd - Removes all trailing occurrences of a set of characters specified in an array from the current String object.
  • String.Trim - combination of the two functions above

Usage:

string txt = "                   i am a string                                    ";
char[] charsToTrim = { ' ' };    
txt = txt.Trim(charsToTrim)); // txt = "i am a string"

EDIT:

txt = txt.Replace(" ", ""); // txt = "iamastring"
