## @deftypefn {Function File} {} strtrim (@var{s})
## Remove leading and trailing whitespace from @var{s}.  If
## @var{s} is a matrix, @var{strtrim} trims each row to the length of
## longest string.  If @var{s} is a cell array of strings, operate recursively
## on each string element.  For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## strtrim ("    abc  ")
##      @result{}  "abc"
##
## strtrim ([" abc   "; "   def   "])
##      @result{}  ["abc  "  ; "  def"]
## @end group
## @end example
## @seealso{deblank}
## @end deftypefn
