//here i have used regular expression and replaced white spaces at the start and end
      let stringPassing : NSString? = "hdfjkhsdj hfjksdhf sdf "
      do {
        print("old->\(stringPassing)")
        let pattern : String = "(^\\s+)|(\\s+)$"
        let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: pattern , options: [])
        let newMatched = regex.matchesInString(stringPassing! as String, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0,stringPassing!.length))
        if(newMatched.count > 0){

          let modifiedString = regex.stringByReplacingMatchesInString(stringPassing! as String, options: [] , range: NSMakeRange(0,stringPassing!.length), withTemplate: "")
              print("new->\(modifiedString)")
        }

    } catch let error as NSError {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
