Strip leading and trailing whitespace from a string

Problem

You want to remove unwated characters, such as whitespace, newline etc., from the beginning or end of a string.

Solution

The default strip procedure will remove whitespaces both both ends. However, you can strip characters from only one end by using trailing=false and leading=false parameters.

You can specify more than one character to strip from the string (default: whitespace) by passing in a set of characers.

Note the (* and *) stripped from the ends and not from the middle of the string.
