Leading and Trailing Spaces

Hi,

how to i remove leading and trailing spaces from a line? the spaces can be behind or in front of any field or line

example of a line in the input data:

Amy Reds , 100 , /bin/sh

how to i get it to be: Amy Read,100,/bin/sh

i saw something on this on the Man pages for AWK but i dont really understand what it was talking about.. could someone help?

thanks
