Remove the last “\n” from a textarea

Question

How to remove the last \"\\n\" from a textarea?

Answer 1

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_%28programming%29

String.prototype.trim = function() {
  return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "");
};

That will add a trim function to string variables that will remove whitespace from the beginning and end of a string.

With this you can do stuff like:

var mystr = "this is my string   "; // including newlines
mystr = mystr.trim();
