C# TrimStart with string parameter

Question

I\'m looking for String extension methods for TrimStart() and TrimEnd() that accept a string parameter.

I could build one myself but I\'m alw

If you did want one that didn't use the built in trim functions for whatever reasons, assuming you want an input string to use for trimming such as " ~!" to essentially be the same as the built in TrimStart with [' ', '~', '!']

public static String TrimStart(this string inp, string chars)
{
    while(chars.Contains(inp[0]))
    {
        inp = inp.Substring(1);
    }

    return inp;
}

public static String TrimEnd(this string inp, string chars)
{
    while (chars.Contains(inp[inp.Length-1]))
    {
        inp = inp.Substring(0, inp.Length-1);
    }

    return inp;
}
