Matlab: delete empty spaces in a string

I have a 400 x 8 char in which I would like to delete empty spaces. I have numbers like this:

1, 99278; 4, 99378; 1,101283;

I would need to have:

1,99278; 4,99378; 1,101283;

Thanks a lot!

Another form to invoke strrep function:

strrep(string,' ','');

It appears you want to remove spaces after commas, but not after semicolons. You can do that easily with regexprep:

>> str = '1, 99278; 4,  99378; 1,101283;';
>> result = regexprep(str, ',\s+', ',');
result =
1,99278; 4,99378; 1,101283;

The function isspace is your friend.

myString( isspace(myString) ) = [] ;
strrep( myString, ';' , '; ') ;

The first line is enough if you don't need a space after the ;. If you want to keep this space, run the second line too.
