Sure, I can help with that!
To remove leading and trailing whitespaces from a string in MATLAB, you can use the strtrim() function. This function returns the same string without leading or trailing white spaces.
Here's an example:
% Define a string with leading and trailing whitespaces:
original_string = " Remove the leading and trailing spaces from this string. ";
% Use strtrim to remove leading and trailing whitespaces:
trimmed_string = strtrim(original_string);
% Display the original and trimmed strings:
disp("Original string: " + original_string);
disp("Trimmed string: " + trimmed_string);
Output:
Original string: Remove the leading and trailing spaces from this string.
Trimmed string: Remove the leading and trailing spaces from this string.
As you can see, the strtrim() function removed the leading and trailing whitespaces from the original_string, producing the trimmed_string output.
