std::string trim(const std::string &s)
{
    std::string::const_iterator it = s.begin();
    while (it != s.end() && isspace(*it))
        it++;

    std::string::const_reverse_iterator rit = s.rbegin();
    while (rit.base() != it && isspace(*rit))
        rit++;

    return std::string(it, rit.base());
}

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));
    }
}

接受的答案，甚至Boost的版本都不适合我，所以我写了下面的版本:

std::string trim(const std::string& input) {
    std::stringstream string_stream;
    for (const auto character : input) {
        if (!isspace(character)) {
            string_stream << character;
        }
    }

    return string_stream.str();
}

这将删除字符串中任何位置的空白字符，并返回字符串的新副本。

s.erase(0, s.find_first_not_of(" \n\r\t"));                                                                                               
s.erase(s.find_last_not_of(" \n\r\t")+1);   

这个好吗?(因为这篇文章完全需要另一个答案:)

string trimBegin(string str)
{
    string whites = "\t\r\n ";
    int i = 0;
    while (whites.find(str[i++]) != whites::npos);
    str.erase(0, i);
    return str;
}

类似的情况下，trimEnd，只是反转极化，指数。

有点晚了，不过没关系。c++ 11在这里，我们有lambda和auto变量。所以我的版本，也处理全空白和空字符串，是:

#include <cctype>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

inline std::string trim(const std::string &s)
{
   auto wsfront=std::find_if_not(s.begin(),s.end(),[](int c){return std::isspace(c);});
   auto wsback=std::find_if_not(s.rbegin(),s.rend(),[](int c){return std::isspace(c);}).base();
   return (wsback<=wsfront ? std::string() : std::string(wsfront,wsback));
}

我们可以从wsfront创建一个反向迭代器，并在第二个find_if_not中使用它作为终止条件，但这只在全空白字符串的情况下有用，gcc 4.8至少不足以用auto推断反向迭代器(std::string::const_reverse_iterator)的类型。我不知道构造反向迭代器有多贵，这里是YMMV。修改后，代码如下所示:

inline std::string trim(const std::string &s)
{
   auto  wsfront=std::find_if_not(s.begin(),s.end(),[](int c){return std::isspace(c);});
   return std::string(wsfront,std::find_if_not(s.rbegin(),std::string::const_reverse_iterator(wsfront),[](int c){return std::isspace(c);}).base());
}
