Can anyone please tell me how to strip the white spaces from acharacter
I addition to all the many good options presented you can also use
trimWhiteSpace{limma} which is just a higher level call to sub()
x=scan("clipboard", what="character")

x
[1] "AIR " "ABCB " "ABXA " "ACMR " "ADCT " "ADEX "
trimWhiteSpace(x)
[1] "AIR" "ABCB" "ABXA" "ACMR" "ADCT" "ADEX"
