title: removing a space from a string by awk
body: <p>How can I remove a space located between name and lastname from a string by using awk?
  most of the examples are about redirecting data from command line to awk but I need to manipulate a string inside an awk script.</p>
  
  <p>Convert this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"steve john"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"stevejohn"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have a string variable which I asked user to input inside an awk script. I need to remove the spaces.</p>
