You can use the Trim function to trim leading and trailing whitespace characters from a string.
1
2
| string s = " The core phrase "; // 2 leading spaces, 1 trailings = s.Trim(); // s = "The core phrase" |
Once again, the function does not change the original string, so you have to assign the result to some string.
You can also give Trim a list of characters that you want trimmed:
1
2
3
4
| string s = " {The core phrase,} ";s = s.Trim(new char[] {' ','{',',','}'}); // s = "The core phrase"s = " {Doesn't {trim} internal stuff }";s = s.Trim(new char[] {' ', '{', '}'}); // s = "Doesn't {trim} internal stuff" |
Finally, you can trim stuff from the start or end of the string with TrimStart and TrimEnd.
