String cleaning

Hacker Hugo is working on a script that collects a list of free proxy servers and stores them in an SQLite database. The script collects the URLs of the proxies from several public sites (e.g. http://www.ip-adress.com/proxy_list/). Most URLs are extracted correctly, but some of them contain whitespaces, e.g. "192.20.246.138:\n 6666", "206.130.99.82:\n8080", etc.

Help Hugo to write a function that receives a string, and returns a cleaned string that contains no whitespaces.
