string-trim - remove trailing whitespace¶

Synopsis¶

string trim [-l | --left] [-r | --right] [(-c | --chars) CHARS]
            [-q | --quiet] [STRING ...]

Description¶

string trim removes leading and trailing whitespace from each STRING. If -l or --left is given, only leading whitespace is removed. If -r or --right is given, only trailing whitespace is trimmed. The -c or --chars switch causes the characters in CHARS to be removed instead of whitespace. Exit status: 0 if at least one character was trimmed, or 1 otherwise.

Examples¶

>_ string trim ' abc  '
abc

>_ string trim --right --chars=yz xyzzy zany
x
