If you know they'll be at the beginning or end of the name, then a simple Trim() should do it. If not, then you might use s = StringUtils.Remove(s, StringUtils.ControlCharacters). This is part of the free String Utilities module at <http://www.verex.com/opensource/>. It could be done with RegEx too, but it'd be more work and probably less efficient.
