Stripping Characters in Java

[Jams44]

Quick Java question. So I am trying to compare two names. However, when the user inputs the name and accidentally puts a "space" at the end, the character literal will be recorded and thus won't equal the equivalent name without the "space". So I am wondering, is there some sort of strip function so I could remove all spaces? Thanks.
