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 zanyx
