What's the best way to trim std::string?

Question

I\'m currently using the following code to right-trim all the std::strings in my programs:

std::string s;
s.erase(s.find_last_not_of(\" \\n\\r\\         


        

Answer 1

Try this, it works for me.

inline std::string trim(std::string& str)
{
    str.erase(0, str.find_first_not_of(' '));       //prefixing spaces
    str.erase(str.find_last_not_of(' ')+1);         //surfixing spaces
    return str;
}
