I want to remove all spaces from a string in Lua. This is what I have tried:

string.gsub(str, \"\", \"\")
string.gsub(str, \"% \", \"\")
string.gsub(str, \"%s*\"

    It works, you just have to assign the actual result/return value. Use one of the following variations:

    str = str:gsub("%s+", "")
    str = string.gsub(str, "%s+", "")
    

    I use %s+ as there's no point in replacing an empty match (i.e. there's no space). This just doesn't make any sense, so I look for at least one space character (using the + quantifier).

    The fastest way is to use trim.so compiled from trim.c:

    /* trim.c - based on http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2009-12/msg00951.html
                from Sean Conner */
    #include <stddef.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <lua.h>
    #include <lauxlib.h>
    
    int trim(lua_State *L)
    {
     const char *front;
     const char *end;
     size_t      size;
    
     front = luaL_checklstring(L,1,&size);
     end   = &front[size - 1];
    
     for ( ; size && isspace(*front) ; size-- , front++)
       ;
     for ( ; size && isspace(*end) ; size-- , end--)
       ;
    
     lua_pushlstring(L,front,(size_t)(end - front) + 1);
     return 1;
    }
    
    int luaopen_trim(lua_State *L)
    {
     lua_register(L,"trim",trim);
     return 0;
    }
    

    compile something like:

    gcc -shared -fpic -O -I/usr/local/include/luajit-2.1 trim.c -o trim.so
    

    More detailed (with comparison to the other methods): http://lua-users.org/wiki/StringTrim

    Usage:

    local trim15 = require("trim")--at begin of the file
    local tr = trim("   a z z z z z    ")--anywhere at code

    You use the following function :

    function all_trim(s)
      return s:match"^%s*(.*)":match"(.-)%s*$"
    end
    

    Or shorter :

    function all_trim(s)
       return s:match( "^%s*(.-)%s*$" )
    end
    

    usage:

    str=" aa " 
    print(all_trim(str) .. "e")
    

    Output is:

    aae

    For LuaJIT all methods from Lua wiki (except for, possibly, native C/C++) were awfully slow in my tests. This implementation showed the best performance:

    function trim (str)
      if str == '' then
        return str
      else  
        local startPos = 1
        local endPos   = #str
    
        while (startPos < endPos and str:byte(startPos) <= 32) do
          startPos = startPos + 1
        end
    
        if startPos >= endPos then
          return ''
        else
          while (endPos > 0 and str:byte(endPos) <= 32) do
            endPos = endPos - 1
          end
    
          return str:sub(startPos, endPos)
        end
      end
    end -- .function trim

    If anyone is looking to remove all spaces in a bunch of strings, and remove spaces in the middle of the string, this this works for me:

    function noSpace(str)
    
      local normalisedString = string.gsub(str, "%s+", "")
    
      return normalisedString
    
    end
    
    test = "te st"
    
    print(noSpace(test))
    

    Might be that there is an easier way though, I'm no expert!
