Strip Leading and Trailing Spaces From Java String

Question

Is there a convenience method to strip any leading or trailing spaces from a Java String?

Something like:

String myString = "  keep this  ";

String stripppedString = myString.strip();

System.out.println("no spaces:" + strippedString);

Result:

no spaces:keep this

myString.replace(" ","") would replace the space between keep and this.

Thanks

You can apply the trim() way.

String newString = oldString.trim();
