Character strings

Is there a function which can trim white space out of a character string?

For example I am reading in a file with model abbreviations and ensemble
numbers like this:
aom_1
cgcm31t47_1

Then using the names to construct a file name.

However I am using asciiread to read the data string back into ncl and then
use the array to open a new file. The above model names are read in using 10
ascii elements to accommodate the whole list.

So the file name ends up looking like:
aom_1 _y8.dat
Rather than
aom_1_y8.dat

So can the character string be trimmed down to non white space characters?

I am using ncl v5.1.0
