iphone - how to get rid of heading and trailing white spaces from NSString

Question

My NSString is like this:

NSString *myString =  
(  
“
 
 24 K CLUB”,  
“
 
 3 DOLLAR CAFE”,  
“
 
 A PEACH OF A PARTY”,  
“
 
 A ROYAL AFFAIR CAFE”,  
“
 
 AFFAIRS TO REMEMBER CATERERS”,  
“
 
 AFRIKAN DELI”  )

How to get rid of this new line character and white spaces, so that my new string will be like: newString:

(
"24 K CLUB”,  
"3 DOLLAR CAFE”,  
“A PEACH OF A PARTY”,  
“A ROYAL AFFAIR CAFE”,  
“AFFAIRS TO REMEMBER CATERERS”,  
“AFRIKAN DELI” 
) 

I tried :

myString = [myString stringByReplacingstringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"
" withString:@""];  
myString = [myString stringByReplacingstringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@""];

but unsuccessfully..getting error:

[__NSArrayI stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7062200

How about stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet: method? By stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet], it can remove both ends of whitespace and newline characters.
