Solution 2

It's difficult to remove the space between numbers with String.Replace or String.Trim, because they are remarkably dumb methods: they just look for a string and replace it - they don't care where in the string it is.
Instead, try a Regex:

C#

string input = "   2365    2365    ";
string output = Regex.Replace(input, @"(?<=\d+)\s+(?=\d+)", "");

Which will remove all the spaces between groups of numbers and leave the ends alone.

"is it possible in Regular Expression using javascript?"

Yes - just use the javascript Replace method:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p>Click the button!</p>

<p id="demo">   1234   5678   </p>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

<script>
function myFunction()
{
var str = document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML;
var res = str.replace(/(\d+)(\s+)(\d+)/,"$1$3");
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML=res;
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

Thanks for your Quick reply.
Sorry to say it will not work because everytime it will not the same value as i mentioned that is 2365 2365. It will get on change as you have hardcoded that value which i dont want.the value will be anything as it will be the number,so if any number came i want to remove the space between number.That i required.Kindly guide me.

That's just an example, to show you what it means: whatever value you put in the input string the second line will work with. So if you values comes from a textbox:
string output = Regex.Replace(myTextBox.Text, @"(?<=\d+)\s+(?=\d+)", "");
Try it!

Requires FrameWork 4.0 or later

... edit 1 ...
The string.Trim() method will not remove any digit characters, but will remove all white-space characaters at the start and end of a string.

The second string.Trim(char[]) method will remove only characters you specify in the parameter array, and string.TrimStart(char[]), and string.TrimEnd(char[]) work the same way.

string.TrimStart, and string.TrimEnd, which require an array of char parameters char[] will not remove any character unless you specify it.

If you want to convert a string to a number, you must remove any leading, or trailing, white-space !

... end edit 1 ...

I like to use the String.Concat operator to clean up strings so they contain only digits:

C#

string allNumericString = String.Concat
(
    YourString.Where(Char.IsDigit)
);

That will get rid of white space of all flavors, etc.

For string cleaning that allows the period to remain:

C#

string allNumericWithDotString = string.Concat
(
    YourString.Where(chr => (Char.IsDigit(chr) || (chr == '.')))
);

Do keep in mind that 'IsDigit is Unicode compatible, so, if you are dealing with Unicode fonts, some combinations of characters may be validated as digits, depending on context.
