Trim all whitespace in an array

How do I trim all whitespace in an array?

Dim str() As String = {"Tyrannosaurus", _
       "Amarga saurus", _
       " Mamenchisaurus", _
       "Brachios aurus", _
       "Deinonychus", _
       "Tyr annosaurus", _
       " Compsognathus"}

I Like Jason's answer but that will remove all spaces everywhere. if you only want to remove the starting and trailing spaces and keep the ones in the middle you need to change it slightly.

str = str.Select(Function(s) s.Trim).ToArray()

this way "Brachios aurus" is not affected because the space is inside, but " Compsognathus" will have that space in the begging removed.

it does seem like you can put in any string function in there and it'll apply it to all the items in the array

Dim reg As New Regex("\s*")
For i = 0 To temp.Length - 1
    temp(i) = reg.Replace(temp(i), "")
Next i
