[dba-SQLServer]Trim function

I have never found a plain trim function for SQL.  rtrim(ltrim(field)) seems
to work to put into one step though.

Is there a way to trim a field in one step?

I use the 'ltrim' function, but then need to use 'rtrim'.  I would like to
trim fields in one step, not two.

 

Thanks,
