string-trim
character-bag string ⇒ trimmed-string
string-left-trim
character-bag string ⇒ trimmed-string
string-right-trim
character-bag string ⇒ trimmed-string
character-bag—a sequence containing characters.
string—a string designator.
trimmed-string—a string.
string-trim returns a substring of string, with all characters in character-bag stripped off the beginning and end. string-left-trim is similar but strips characters off only the beginning; string-right-trim strips off only the end.
If no characters need to be trimmed from the string, then either string itself or a copy of it may be returned, at the discretion of the implementation.
All of these functions observe the fill pointer.
(string-trim "abc" "abcaakaaakabcaaa") ⇒ "kaaak" (string-trim '(#\Space #\Tab #\Newline) " garbanzo beans ") ⇒ "garbanzo beans" (string-trim " (*)" " ( *three (silly) words* ) ") ⇒ "three (silly) words" (string-left-trim "abc" "labcabcabc") ⇒ "labcabcabc" (string-left-trim " (*)" " ( *three (silly) words* ) ") ⇒ "three (silly) words* ) " (string-right-trim " (*)" " ( *three (silly) words* ) ") ⇒ " ( *three (silly) words"
