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 );
}

我的解决方案是基于@比尔蜥蜴的回答。

注意，如果输入字符串只包含空格，这些函数将返回空字符串。

const std::string StringUtils::WHITESPACE = " \n\r\t";

std::string StringUtils::Trim(const std::string& s)
{
    return TrimRight(TrimLeft(s));
}

std::string StringUtils::TrimLeft(const std::string& s)
{
    size_t startpos = s.find_first_not_of(StringUtils::WHITESPACE);
    return (startpos == std::string::npos) ? "" : s.substr(startpos);
}

std::string StringUtils::TrimRight(const std::string& s)
{
    size_t endpos = s.find_last_not_of(StringUtils::WHITESPACE);
    return (endpos == std::string::npos) ? "" : s.substr(0, endpos+1);
}

从c++17开始，标准库的一些部分被删除了。幸运的是，从c++11开始，我们有了lambdas，这是一个更好的解决方案。

#include <algorithm> 
#include <cctype>
#include <locale>

// trim from start (in place)
static inline void ltrim(std::string &s) {
    s.erase(s.begin(), std::find_if(s.begin(), s.end(), [](unsigned char ch) {
        return !std::isspace(ch);
    }));
}

// trim from end (in place)
static inline void rtrim(std::string &s) {
    s.erase(std::find_if(s.rbegin(), s.rend(), [](unsigned char ch) {
        return !std::isspace(ch);
    }).base(), s.end());
}

// trim from both ends (in place)
static inline void trim(std::string &s) {
    rtrim(s);
    ltrim(s);
}

// trim from start (copying)
static inline std::string ltrim_copy(std::string s) {
    ltrim(s);
    return s;
}

// trim from end (copying)
static inline std::string rtrim_copy(std::string s) {
    rtrim(s);
    return s;
}

// trim from both ends (copying)
static inline std::string trim_copy(std::string s) {
    trim(s);
    return s;
}

感谢https://stackoverflow.com/a/44973498/524503提供的现代解决方案。

最初的回答:

我倾向于使用这3种中的一种来满足我的装饰需求:

#include <algorithm> 
#include <functional> 
#include <cctype>
#include <locale>

// trim from start
static inline std::string &ltrim(std::string &s) {
    s.erase(s.begin(), std::find_if(s.begin(), s.end(),
            std::not1(std::ptr_fun<int, int>(std::isspace))));
    return s;
}

// trim from end
static inline std::string &rtrim(std::string &s) {
    s.erase(std::find_if(s.rbegin(), s.rend(),
            std::not1(std::ptr_fun<int, int>(std::isspace))).base(), s.end());
    return s;
}

// trim from both ends
static inline std::string &trim(std::string &s) {
    return ltrim(rtrim(s));
}

它们是相当不言自明的，而且工作得非常好。

编辑:顺便说一句，我有std::ptr_fun在那里，以帮助消除std::isspace的歧义，因为实际上有第二个定义支持区域设置。这本来也可以是一个石膏，但我更喜欢这个。

编辑:处理一些关于通过引用接受参数、修改和返回参数的注释。我同意。我可能更喜欢的实现是两组函数，一组用于到位，另一组用于复制。一个更好的例子是:

#include <algorithm> 
#include <functional> 
#include <cctype>
#include <locale>

// trim from start (in place)
static inline void ltrim(std::string &s) {
    s.erase(s.begin(), std::find_if(s.begin(), s.end(),
            std::not1(std::ptr_fun<int, int>(std::isspace))));
}

// trim from end (in place)
static inline void rtrim(std::string &s) {
    s.erase(std::find_if(s.rbegin(), s.rend(),
            std::not1(std::ptr_fun<int, int>(std::isspace))).base(), s.end());
}

// trim from both ends (in place)
static inline void trim(std::string &s) {
    rtrim(s);
    ltrim(s);
}

// trim from start (copying)
static inline std::string ltrim_copy(std::string s) {
    ltrim(s);
    return s;
}

// trim from end (copying)
static inline std::string rtrim_copy(std::string s) {
    rtrim(s);
    return s;
}

// trim from both ends (copying)
static inline std::string trim_copy(std::string s) {
    trim(s);
    return s;
}

我保留了上面的原始答案，但是为了上下文和保持高投票的答案仍然可用。

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!!"
}

从Cplusplus.com上窃取的

std::string choppa(const std::string &t, const std::string &ws)
{
    std::string str = t;
    size_t found;
    found = str.find_last_not_of(ws);
    if (found != std::string::npos)
        str.erase(found+1);
    else
        str.clear();            // str is all whitespace

    return str;
}

这也适用于空情况。: -)
