Five ways to remove spaces before and after a string in js

The first one: Loop check and replace

//供使用者调用
function trim(s){
return trimRight(trimLeft(s));
}
//去掉左边的空白
function trimLeft(s){
if(s == null) {
return "";
}
var whitespace = new String(" \t\n\r");
var str = new String(s);
if (whitespace.indexOf(str.charAt(0)) != -1) {
var j=0, i = str.length;
while (j < i && whitespace.indexOf(str.charAt(j)) != -1){
j++;
}
str = str.substring(j, i);
}
return str;
}
//去掉右边的空白
function trimRight(s){
if(s == null) return "";
var whitespace = new String(" \t\n\r");
var str = new String(s);
if (whitespace.indexOf(str.charAt(str.length-1)) != -1){
var i = str.length - 1;
while (i >= 0 && whitespace.indexOf(str.charAt(i)) != -1){
i--;
}
str = str.substring(0, i+1);
}
return str;
}

The second one: Regular replacement

String.prototype.Trim = function()
{
return this.replace(/(^\s*)|(\s*$)/g, "");
}
String.prototype.LTrim = function()
{
return this.replace(/(^\s*)/g, "");
}
String.prototype.RTrim = function()
{
return this.replace(/(\s*$)/g, "");
}

The third one: Use jquery

$.trim(str)
jquery内部实现为：
[javascript]
function trim(str){
return str.replace(/^(\s|\u00A0)+/,'').replace(/(\s|\u00A0)+$/,'');
}

The fourth one: Use motools

function trim(str){
return str.replace(/^(\s|\xA0)+|(\s|\xA0)+$/g, '');
}

The fifth one: Cut the string method

function trim(str){
str = str.replace(/^(\s|\u00A0)+/,'');
for(var i=str.length-1; i>=0; i--){
if(/\S/.test(str.charAt(i))){
str = str.substring(0, i+1);
break;
}
}
return str;
}
