NAME

YVDHOVE::String - Perl module that provides String functions used by the YVDHOVE framework

SYNOPSIS

use YVDHOVE::String qw(:all);

my $string = "  \t  Hello world!   ";

print trim($string) ."\n";
print ltrim($string)."\n";
print rtrim($string)."\n";

DESCRIPTION

Perl doesn't have a built-in trim function. Use the subroutines below to trim whitespace (spaces and tabs) from the beginning and end of a string in Perl. These functions are directly based on the Perl FAQ entry "How do I strip blank spaces from the beginning/end of a string?" The ltrim and rtrim functions can trim leading or trailing whitespace.

EXPORT

None by default.

METHODS

trim(STRING);

trim function to remove whitespace from the start and end of the string

ltrim(STRING);

trim function to remove leading whitespace

rtrim(STRING);

trim function to remove trailing whitespace
