我认为在这个例子中使用宏是一个很好的实践:(适用于c++ 98)

#define TRIM_CHARACTERS " \t\n\r\f\v"
#define TRIM_STRING(given) \
    given.erase(given.find_last_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS) + 1); \
    given.erase(0, given.find_first_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS));

例子:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#define TRIM_CHARACTERS " \t\n\r\f\v"
#define TRIM_STRING(given) \
    given.erase(given.find_last_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS) + 1); \
    given.erase(0, given.find_first_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS));

int main(void) {
  std::string text("  hello world!! \t  \r");
  TRIM_STRING(text);
  std::cout << text; // "hello world!!"
}

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));
}

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;
}

穷人的绳子装饰(仅限空格):

std::string trimSpaces(const std::string& str)
{
    int start, len;
    
    for (start = 0; start < str.size() && str[start] == ' '; start++);
    for (len = str.size() - start; len > 0 && str[start + len - 1] == ' '; len--);
    
    return str.substr(start, len);
}

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");  
}

这里有一个容易理解的解决方案，初学者不习惯编写std::无处不在，还不熟悉常量正确性，迭代器，STL算法等…

#include <string>
#include <cctype> // for isspace
using namespace std;


// Left trim the given string ("  hello!  " --> "hello!  ")
string left_trim(string str) {
    int numStartSpaces = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
        if (!isspace(str[i])) break;
        numStartSpaces++;
    }
    return str.substr(numStartSpaces);
}

// Right trim the given string ("  hello!  " --> "  hello!")
string right_trim(string str) {
    int numEndSpaces = 0;
    for (int i = str.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (!isspace(str[i])) break;
        numEndSpaces++;
    }
    return str.substr(0, str.length() - numEndSpaces);
}

// Left and right trim the given string ("  hello!  " --> "hello!")
string trim(string str) {
    return right_trim(left_trim(str));
}

希望能有所帮助……
