SuperStrip

Another version of strip methods to strip special white spaces. String#strip removes white spaces in string, but not special white spaces for example \u3000 (IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE, commonly used in Japanese), \u3164 (HANGUL FILLER).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'super_strip'

Usage

str = '　string　'
str.super_strip #=> 'string'
str.super_lstrip #=> 'string　'
str.super_rstrip #=> '　string'

# destructive methods
# These return nil if no spaces are removed
str1 = str.dup
str1.super_strip! #=> 'string'
str1 #=> 'string'

str2 = str.dup
str2.super_lstrip! #=> 'string '
str2 #=> 'string '

str3 = str.dup
str3.super_rstrip! #=> ' string'
str3 #=> ' string'

If you want to remove all spaces in string, you can use SuperStrip::WHITE_SPACES constant.

' s t r i n g '.delete SuperStrip::WHITE_SPACES.join #=> 'string'
