DEBLANK Remove trailing blanks from a string

Section: String Functions

Usage

The deblank function removes spaces at the end of a string when used with the syntax
   y = deblank(x)

where x is a string, in which case, all of the extra spaces in x are stripped from the end of the string. Alternately, you can call deblank with a cell array of strings

   y = deblank(c)

in which case each string in the cell array is deblanked.

Example

A simple example
--> deblank('hello   ')

ans = 

 hello

--> 
quit

and a more complex example with a cell array of strings

--> deblank({'hello  ','there ','  is  ','  sign  '})

ans = 

 ['hello']   ['there']   ['  is']   ['  sign']   

--> 
quit
