jasonc Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have this which trims and replaces double spaces with single spaces. String.prototype.trim = function () { return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '').replace(/\s+/g,' ') ; } I wish to have a new function that only trims the start and end of a string of its spaces. what change to the above should I make ?

requinix Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Remove the second .replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougjohnson Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think TRIM() would do the same thing also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think TRIM() would do the same thing also. In MySQL or PHP, sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah, I don't think Javascript has a native trim() method but JQuery does: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.trim/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
