  Those remove spaces from the beginning or both ends of a string.  To remove all spaces use "-replace".

  Please format your code as code. Otherwise it will have unwanted line breaks and will not work.

  Hi  

  The replace function suggested didn't work :(.

  
  

  Works fine if you use it correctly:

  PS D:\scripts> $hostnamenew =$hostname -replace '\s'
  PS D:\scripts> $hostnamenew
  soemspvestotest

  or

  PS D:\scripts>  $hostname = '  soem spves to test  '
  PS D:\scripts> $hostname.Replace(' ','')
  soemspvestotest

  There is a bad character on this line:

   [Switch]$Help,`

  note the extra character.  This messes up the code colorizer.
