Removing spaces at the end of a string in java [duplicate]

Answer 1

I'd do it like this:

public static String trimEnd(String s)
{
    if ( s == null || s.length() == 0 )
        return s;
    int i = s.length();
    while ( i > 0 &&  Character.isWhitespace(s.charAt(i - 1)) )
        i--;
    if ( i == s.length() )
        return s;
    else
        return s.substring(0, i);
}

It's way more verbose than using a regular expression, but it's likely to be more efficient.
