Another way to achieve your goal is to use the trim method in  Java
via J/Link:

Needs["JLink`"]

InstallJava[]

aString=JavaNew["java.lang.String","   Have a great day.  "]

aString[trim[]]

I have a web site with various examples of integrating Java with
Mathematica, including one that makes use of the Java regex package
(regular expressions) that is useful for more complicated string
manipulations (apparently regular expressions will soon be built into
Mathematica)
