NAME

Regex::Common::whitespace -- provides a regex for leading or trailing whitescape

SYNOPSIS

use Regex::Common qw /whitespace/;

while (<>) {
    s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g;           # Delete surrounding whitespace
}

DESCRIPTION

Please consult the manual of Regex::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regex::Common.

$RE{ws}{crop}

Returns a pattern that identifies leading or trailing whitespace.

For example:

$str =~ s/$RE{ws}{crop}//g;     # Delete surrounding whitespace

The call:

$RE{ws}{crop}->subs($str);

is optimized (but probably still slower than doing the s///g explicitly).

This pattern does not capture under -keep.
