一种优雅的方法可以是

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

支持功能实现为:

std::string & ltrim(std::string & str)
{
  auto it =  std::find_if( str.begin() , str.end() , [](char ch){ return !std::isspace<char>(ch , std::locale::classic() ) ; } );
  str.erase( str.begin() , it);
  return str;   
}

std::string & rtrim(std::string & str)
{
  auto it =  std::find_if( str.rbegin() , str.rend() , [](char ch){ return !std::isspace<char>(ch , std::locale::classic() ) ; } );
  str.erase( it.base() , str.end() );
  return str;   
}

一旦你把这些都准备好了，你也可以这样写:

std::string trim_copy(std::string const & str)
{
   auto s = str;
   return ltrim(rtrim(s));
}

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);
}

为什么不用?

auto no_space = [](char ch) -> bool {
  return !std::isspace<char>(ch, std::locale::classic());
};
auto ltrim = [](std::string& s) -> std::string& {
  s.erase(s.begin(), std::find_if(s.begin(), s.end(), no_space));
  return s;
};
auto rtrim = [](std::string& s) -> std::string& {
  s.erase(std::find_if(s.rbegin(), s.rend(), no_space).base(), s.end());
  return s;
};
auto trim_copy = [](std::string s) -> std::string& { return ltrim(rtrim(s)); };
auto trim = [](std::string& s) -> std::string& { return ltrim(rtrim(s)); };

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);

使用std::find_if_not和反向迭代器(没有+1/-1调整)并返回修剪过的空格数

// returns number of spaces removed
std::size_t RoundTrim(std::string& s)
{
    auto const beforeTrim{ s.size() };

    auto isSpace{ [](auto const& e) { return std::isspace(e); } };

    s.erase(cbegin(s), std::find_if_not(cbegin(s), cend(s), isSpace));
    s.erase(std::find_if_not(crbegin(s), crend(s), isSpace).base(), end(s));

    return beforeTrim - s.size();
};

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));
    }
}
