What about trim method?

var str = "       Hello World!        ";
alert(str.trim());

Edit based on the comments: I am not sure what character '↵' is... trim() is supposed to remove white-space chars including new-line and carriage-return... so what about the following

var a="exampleName↵";
a.replace(/↵/g, "")
alert(a)

try this

var s = '   Your string with newline or/and carriage return   ';
s = s.replace(/(?:\r\n|\n|\r)/g, '').replace(/^\s+|\s+$|\s+(?=\s)/g, '');
  • \r\n for the DOS\Windows world
  • \r for the pre-OSX Mac world
  • \n for the Unix and Unix-like world
