Text: Trim

Strip whitespace from the start, end, or both sides of a string. Inner whitespace is preserved — use Text::RegexpCapture or Text::Replace if you need to collapse runs of whitespace.

Example
Mode: Both    →  "  hello  "  →  "hello"
Mode: Start   →  "  hello  "  →  "hello  "
Mode: End     →  "  hello  "  →  "  hello"

Parameters​

Which side(s) to trim:

  • Both (default) — trim leading and trailing whitespace.
  • Start — trim leading only.
  • End — trim trailing only.
