How to Remove All Whitespace of a String In Dart?

User can try the below solutions:

String product = "COCA COLA";

print('Product id is: ${product.replaceAll(new RegExp(r"\s+\b|\b\s"), "")}');

Update:

String name = '4 ever 1 k g @@ @';

print(name.replaceAll(new RegExp(r"\s+"), ""));

This would solve your problem

String name = "COCA COLA";

print(name.replaceAll(' ', ''));

Use Trim Function():

String name = "Stack Overflow";

print(name.trim());

In case this is of any help to someone in the future, for convenience you can define an extension method to the String class:

extension StringExtensions on String {

String removeWhitespace() {

return this.replaceAll(' ', '');

}

}

This can be called like product.removeWhiteSpace() I’ve used it in the past to create a helper method when sorting lists by a string whilst ignoring case and whitespace.

extension StringExtensions on String {

String toSortable() {

return this.toLowerCase().replaceAll(' ', '');

}

}

  • print(' COCA COLA'.trim()); // Output: 'COCA COLA'
    print('COCA COLA '.trim()); // Output: 'COCA COLA'
    print(' COCA COLA '.trim()); // Output: 'COCA COLA'
  • print(' COCA COLA '.trimLeft()); // Output: 'COCA COLA '
    print(' COCA COLA '.trimRight()); // Output:' COCA COLA'If the String can be null, you can consider using the null-aware operator.String s = null;
    print(s?.trim());The above code will return null instead of throwing 
    NoSuchMethodError.
  • String replaceWhitespacesUsingRegex(String s, String replace) {
    if (s == null) {
    return null;
    }

    // This pattern means "at least one space, or more"
    // \\s : space
    // + : one or more
    final pattern = RegExp('\\s+');
    return s.replaceAll(pattern, replace);
    }Call like a below:print(replaceWhitespacesUsingRegex('One Two Three Four', '')); // Output: 'OneTwoThreeFour'
