Use trim().

"  blah  ".trim() ==> "blah"

Thank you for your answer i tried but i got error-

Object [object Object] has no method 'trim'

I used like this:

var columnvalue=rows.get(9).getText();

var columnvalue1=columnvalue.trim();

I am using protractor for testing angular js page.

The reason you get that error is your columnvalue is not the string

 rows.get(9).getText().then(function(text) {
  console.log(text);
  var columnvalue1=text.trim();
  console.log(columnvalue1);
 });

Should work.
