The STRCOMPRESS function returns a copy of String with all whitespace (blanks and tabs) compressed to a single space or completely removed.
Examples
; Create a string variable S:
S = 'This is a string with spaces in it.'
; Print S with all of the whitespace removed:
PRINT, STRCOMPRESS(S, /REMOVE_ALL)
IDL Output
Thisisastringwithspacesinit.
Syntax
Result = STRCOMPRESS( String [, /REMOVE_ALL] )

Arguments
String
