好吧，这可能不是最快的，但是。简单。

str = "   aaa    ";
int len = str.length();
// rtrim
while(str[len-1] == ' ') { str.erase(--len,1); }
// ltrim
while(str[0] == ' ') { str.erase(0,1); }

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));
    }
}

这个……怎么样?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex>

std::string ltrim( std::string str ) {
    return std::regex_replace( str, std::regex("^\\s+"), std::string("") );
}

std::string rtrim( std::string str ) {
    return std::regex_replace( str, std::regex("\\s+$"), std::string("") );
}

std::string trim( std::string str ) {
    return ltrim( rtrim( str ) );
}

int main() {

    std::string str = "   \t  this is a test string  \n   ";
    std::cout << "-" << trim( str ) << "-\n";
    return 0;

}

注意:我对c++还是个新手，所以如果我在这里离题了，请原谅。

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。

对噪音做出我的解决方案。Trim默认创建一个新字符串并返回修改后的字符串，而trim_in_place则修改传递给它的字符串。trim函数支持c++11 move语义。

#include <string>

// modifies input string, returns input

std::string& trim_left_in_place(std::string& str) {
    size_t i = 0;
    while(i < str.size() && isspace(str[i])) { ++i; };
    return str.erase(0, i);
}

std::string& trim_right_in_place(std::string& str) {
    size_t i = str.size();
    while(i > 0 && isspace(str[i - 1])) { --i; };
    return str.erase(i, str.size());
}

std::string& trim_in_place(std::string& str) {
    return trim_left_in_place(trim_right_in_place(str));
}

// returns newly created strings

std::string trim_right(std::string str) {
    return trim_right_in_place(str);
}

std::string trim_left(std::string str) {
    return trim_left_in_place(str);
}

std::string trim(std::string str) {
    return trim_left_in_place(trim_right_in_place(str));
}

#include <cassert>

int main() {

    std::string s1(" \t\r\n  ");
    std::string s2("  \r\nc");
    std::string s3("c \t");
    std::string s4("  \rc ");

    assert(trim(s1) == "");
    assert(trim(s2) == "c");
    assert(trim(s3) == "c");
    assert(trim(s4) == "c");

    assert(s1 == " \t\r\n  ");
    assert(s2 == "  \r\nc");
    assert(s3 == "c \t");
    assert(s4 == "  \rc ");

    assert(trim_in_place(s1) == "");
    assert(trim_in_place(s2) == "c");
    assert(trim_in_place(s3) == "c");
    assert(trim_in_place(s4) == "c");

    assert(s1 == "");
    assert(s2 == "c");
    assert(s3 == "c");
    assert(s4 == "c");  
}

看来我真的是姗姗来迟了——我不敢相信7年前有人问我这个问题!

以下是我对这个问题的看法。我正在做一个项目，现在不想麻烦地使用Boost。

std::string trim(std::string str) {
    if(str.length() == 0) return str;

    int beg = 0, end = str.length() - 1;
    while (str[beg] == ' ') {
        beg++;
    }

    while (str[end] == ' ') {
        end--;
    }

    return str.substr(beg, end - beg + 1);
}

这个解决方案将从左边和右边修剪。
