Then your input is not what you showed us in the first post. Post the input data that you are using to get that result.

I am sorry actually i am processing earlier first time one file then it was showing perfectly, but i need to process other files so it is showing space.

current output

<load>Full Load</load>      -> file1
<load>	Full Load</load>  -> file2



desired output

Full Load

Modification of targzeta's solution:

sed 's;</\?load>[\t ]*;;g' file
7

Not working. I have tried this.

Please post your input file contents and desired output .

Try:

sed 's|</\{0,1\}load>[[:blank:]]*||g' file

--
Note: \? , \| and \t are GNU sed only.

Here's another sed solution:

sed 's/\(<load>\|<\/load>\)//g; s/^[ \t]*//' file*.txt
11

Not working. Space is still there and also load is also there.

sed 's;</\?load>[[:space:]]*;;g' file

How can this be? You provided this input:

<load>Full Load</load>
<load>	Full Load</load>

With regular sed:

$ sed 's|</\{0,1\}load>[[:blank:]]*||g' file
Full Load
Full Load

And with GNU sed

$ gsed 's|</\{0,1\}load>[[:blank:]]*||g' file
Full Load
Full Load

So which input file are you using? It seems to me that your input sample does not correspond to your actual data...
What is is your OS and version?

with multiple files:

$ cat file1
<load>Full Load</load>
$ cat file2
<load>	Full Load</load>
$ sed 's|</\{0,1\}load>[[:blank:]]*||g' file[12]
Full Load
Full Load
