# string-trim - remove trailing whitespace

## Synopsis

    string trim [(-l | --left)] [(-r | --right)] [(-c | --chars CHARS)] [(-q | --quiet)] [STRING...]

## Description

`string trim` removes leading and trailing whitespace from each STRING. If `-l` or `--left` is given, only leading whitespace is removed. If `-r` or `--right` is given, only trailing whitespace is trimmed. The `-c` or `--chars` switch causes the characters in CHARS to be removed instead of whitespace. Exit status: 0 if at least one character was trimmed, or 1 otherwise.

## Examples

    >_ string trim ' abc  '
    abc

    >_ string trim --right --chars=yz xyzzy zany
    x
    zan
