Remove leading and trailing whitespace in R

Sure, in R, you can use the trimws() function to remove both leading and trailing whitespaces from a string.

Here's an example:

# Define a string with leading and trailing whitespaces
text <- "  Hello, World!   "
# Use the trimws() function to remove the whitespaces

trimmed_text <- trimws(text)
# Print the original string and the trimmed string

cat("Original string: '",text,"'\n", sep="")

cat("Trimmed string: '",trimmed_text,"'", sep="")

Output:

Original string: '  Hello, World!   '

Trimmed string: 'Hello, World!'

As you can see, the trimws() function removed the leading and trailing whitespaces from the string.
