trim
Posted on June 13th, 2009 No commentsThe trim function is mainly used to remove whitespace from the beginning and end of strings, although it can be used to remove other characters too.
PHP
echo trim(" Hello World "); => // 'Hello World'
Ruby
puts " Hello World ".strip => # 'Hello World'
The trim() function can also take a second argument which allows the removal of an arbitrary character.
PHP
echo trim("\n\nHello World\n\n", "\n"); => // 'Hello World'
Ruby
substitute = '\n'; puts "\n\nHello World\n\n".gsub(/^[#{substitute}]+|[#{substitute}]+$/, '') => # 'Hello World'
