All,

This may not be the proper place to ask as the question is dplyr and removing 
white space using mutate.  My code is below:

```{r, echo = FALSE, message = FALSE
conn <- myconnection
````

```{r, echo = FALSE, message=FALSE}
fhlloanbalance <- tbl(conn, "fhlloan_balance_view")
colnames(fhlloanbalance)
```

```{r, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE}
fhlloanbalance %>%
select(fctrdt, servicer) %>%
filter(fctrdt == '2020-01-01') %>%
mutate(servicer = 'I need to remove all white space')
```
I have tried a number of approaches using stringr - stringi - and gsub.  The 
problem I think I am facing: I cannot seem to operate on the column in sql this 
is relative straight forward using replace.  I have tried several approaches 
and scanned the internet but I cannot seem to come up with a workable solution. 
 Any help is appreciated.  I suppose I could just default back to sql but would 
prefer to use dplyr.

Best,
Glenn
