由于添加了back()和pop_back()，这在c++ 11中可以更简单地完成。

while ( !s.empty() && isspace(s.back()) ) s.pop_back();

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……

使用下面的代码对std::strings (ideone)中的空格和制表符进行右对齐:

// trim trailing spaces
size_t endpos = str.find_last_not_of(" \t");
size_t startpos = str.find_first_not_of(" \t");
if( std::string::npos != endpos )
{
    str = str.substr( 0, endpos+1 );
    str = str.substr( startpos );
}
else {
    str.erase(std::remove(std::begin(str), std::end(str), ' '), std::end(str));
}

为了平衡，我将包括左边的代码(ideone):

// trim leading spaces
size_t startpos = str.find_first_not_of(" \t");
if( string::npos != startpos )
{
    str = str.substr( startpos );
}

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。

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");  
}

以下是我的看法:

size_t beg = s.find_first_not_of(" \r\n");
return (beg == string::npos) ? "" : in.substr(beg, s.find_last_not_of(" \r\n") - beg);
