Answer 1

Use trim for trailing spaces. Use replace to get rid of spaces.

def trimExample = "Some string to be trimmed.      ";
def trimmed = trimExample.trim();

def removeSpacesExample = "Some String To Lose All Spaces."
def removedSpaces = removeSpacesExample.replace(' ', '');

Use log.info(varName) to see the effect.
