Trim string in JavaScript?

Question

How do I trim a string in JavaScript? That is, how do I remove all whitespace from the beginning and the end of the string in JavaScript?

Answer 1

Don't know what bugs can hide here, but I use this:

var some_string_with_extra_spaces="   goes here    "
console.log(some_string_with_extra_spaces.match(/\S.*\S|\S/)[0])

Or this, if text contain enters:

console.log(some_string_with_extra_spaces.match(/\S[\s\S]*\S|\S/)[0])

Another try:

console.log(some_string_with_extra_spaces.match(/^\s*(.*?)\s*$/)[1])
