Question

I read an xml file and get line to compare it with another value :

xmlLine = fgets(fid);

which gives :

xmlLine =

      <a="true" value="toto">

I need , when getting the xmlLine to remove the spaces (here there are 6spaces before the begining)

Any idea?

Answer 1

strtrim will do the trick:

  strtrim('      <a="true" value="toto">')

The function removes extra white space from the beginning and end of a string.
