String::Trim::More - Various string trimming utilities
This document describes version 0.03 of String::Trim::More (from Perl distribution String-Trim-More), released on 2017-01-27.
This is an alternative to String::Trim (and similar modules, see "SEE ALSO"). Instead of a single trim function, this module provides several from which you can choose on, depending on your needs.
trim
Trim whitespaces (including newlines) at the beginning of string. Equivalent to:
$str =~ s/\A\s+//s;
Trim whitespaces (not including newlines) at the beginning of each line of string. Equivalent to:
$str =~ s/^\s+//mg;
Trim whitespaces (including newlines) at the end of string. Equivalent to:
$str =~ s/[ \t]+\z//s;
Trim whitespaces (not including newlines) at the end of each line of string. Equivalent to:
$str =~ s/[ \t]+$//mg;
ltrim + rtrim.
ltrim_lines + rtrim_lines.
Trim blank lines at the beginning and the end. Won't trim blank lines in the middle. Blank lines include lines with only whitespaces in them.
Return $str unmodified if $str's length is less than $maxlen (default 80). Otherwise cut $str to ($maxlen - length($ellipsis)) and append $ellipsis (default '...') at the end.
