The trim
method in Java is a method of the java.lang.String
class that removes leading and trailing white space characters from a string. It returns a new string with the white space removed, and the original string remains unchanged.
Here's an example of how you can use the trim
method:
String s = " Hello, World! "; String sTrimmed = s.trim(); System.out.println(sTrimmed); // prints "Hello, World!"
Note that the trim
method only removes white space characters from the beginning and end of the string. It does not remove white space characters within the string. If you want to remove all white space characters from a string, you can use the replaceAll
method with a regular expression that matches white space characters:
String s = " Hello, World! "; String sWithoutSpaces = s.replaceAll("\\s", ""); System.out.println(sWithoutSpaces); // prints "Hello,World!"
