Removing simple whitespace c#

I read in the contents of a file i then search for this string

00:00:00" group="MAM and remove it !.

This is the full line that the string is on 

 <Field name="original_transmission_date" value="20/01/1969 00:00:00" group="MAM" />

so after I string.replace it ends up . 

 <Field name="original_transmission_date" value="20/01/1969 " />

My problem is that little space you see between the 9 and the " , trying to think of ways to get at it, the values and date will change but I could regex from value= onwards but I am not great with regex and it seems over kill for a whitespace!.

Any Ideas?.

you can use string.trim to remove white space , also you can use string.TrimEnd

            char[] charsToTrim = { ' ' };//here you can any character to trim
            myString = myString.TrimEnd(charsToTrim);

Quick fix if the group is always the last tag:

Replace [00:00:00" group="MAM" /] with /

You question is a little fuzzy and may be an XY Problem.

Are you retrieving this data or setting this data? Is this XML? Most likely there is a better solution not using REGEX at all.

Worst case scenario what not just do something simple like:

.Replace(" 00:00:00\" group=\"MAM", "").Replace("00:00:00\" group=\"MAM", "").

Your replace string should also contain the space, ie " 00:00:00\" group=\"MAM"
