在c++ 17中，你可以使用basic_string_view::remove_prefix和basic_string_view::remove_suffix:

std::string_view trim(std::string_view s)
{
    s.remove_prefix(std::min(s.find_first_not_of(" \t\r\v\n"), s.size()));
    s.remove_suffix(std::min(s.size() - s.find_last_not_of(" \t\r\v\n") - 1, s.size()));

    return s;
}

一个不错的替代方案:

std::string_view ltrim(std::string_view s)
{
    s.remove_prefix(std::distance(s.cbegin(), std::find_if(s.cbegin(), s.cend(),
         [](int c) {return !std::isspace(c);})));

    return s;
}

std::string_view rtrim(std::string_view s)
{
    s.remove_suffix(std::distance(s.crbegin(), std::find_if(s.crbegin(), s.crend(),
        [](int c) {return !std::isspace(c);})));

    return s;
}

std::string_view trim(std::string_view s)
{
    return ltrim(rtrim(s));
}

在空字符串的情况下，你的代码假设将1添加到string::npos得到0。String::npos的类型是String::size_type，无符号。因此，您依赖于加法的溢出行为。

For what it's worth, here is a trim implementation with an eye towards performance. It's much quicker than many other trim routines I've seen around. Instead of using iterators and std::finds, it uses raw c strings and indices. It optimizes the following special cases: size 0 string (do nothing), string with no whitespace to trim (do nothing), string with only trailing whitespace to trim (just resize the string), string that's entirely whitespace (just clear the string). And finally, in the worst case (string with leading whitespace), it does its best to perform an efficient copy construction, performing only 1 copy and then moving that copy in place of the original string.

void TrimString(std::string & str)
{ 
    if(str.empty())
        return;

    const auto pStr = str.c_str();

    size_t front = 0;
    while(front < str.length() && std::isspace(int(pStr[front]))) {++front;}

    size_t back = str.length();
    while(back > front && std::isspace(int(pStr[back-1]))) {--back;}

    if(0 == front)
    {
        if(back < str.length())
        {
            str.resize(back - front);
        }
    }
    else if(back <= front)
    {
        str.clear();
    }
    else
    {
        str = std::move(std::string(str.begin()+front, str.begin()+back));
    }
}

我想如果你开始询问修剪字符串的“最佳方式”，我会说一个好的实现将是:

不分配临时字符串 有过载的地方修剪和复制修剪 可以很容易地定制接受不同的验证序列/逻辑

显然，有太多不同的方法来解决这个问题，这绝对取决于你真正需要什么。然而，C标准库在<string.h>中仍然有一些非常有用的函数，比如memchr。C仍然被认为是IO的最佳语言是有原因的——它的标准库是纯粹的效率。

inline const char* trim_start(const char* str)
{
    while (memchr(" \t\n\r", *str, 4))  ++str;
    return str;
}
inline const char* trim_end(const char* end)
{
    while (memchr(" \t\n\r", end[-1], 4)) --end;
    return end;
}
inline std::string trim(const char* buffer, int len) // trim a buffer (input?)
{
    return std::string(trim_start(buffer), trim_end(buffer + len));
}
inline void trim_inplace(std::string& str)
{
    str.assign(trim_start(str.c_str()),
        trim_end(str.c_str() + str.length()));
}

int main()
{
    char str [] = "\t \nhello\r \t \n";

    string trimmed = trim(str, strlen(str));
    cout << "'" << trimmed << "'" << endl;

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

修剪两端。

string trim(const std::string &str){
    string result = "";
    size_t endIndex = str.size();
    while (endIndex > 0 && isblank(str[endIndex-1]))
        endIndex -= 1;
    for (size_t i=0; i<endIndex ; i+=1){
        char ch = str[i];
        if (!isblank(ch) || result.size()>0)
            result += ch;
    }
   return result;
}

std::string trim( std::string && str )
{
    size_t end = str.find_last_not_of( " \n\r\t" );
    if ( end != std::string::npos )
        str.resize( end + 1 );

    size_t start = str.find_first_not_of( " \n\r\t" );
    if ( start != std::string::npos )
        str = str.substr( start );

    return std::move( str );
}
