好吧，这可能不是最快的，但是。简单。

str = "   aaa    ";
int len = str.length();
// rtrim
while(str[len-1] == ' ') { str.erase(--len,1); }
// ltrim
while(str[0] == ' ') { str.erase(0,1); }

C++11：

int i{};
string s = " h e ll \t\n  o";
string trim = " \n\t";

while ((i = s.find_first_of(trim)) != -1)
    s.erase(i,1);

cout << s;

输出:

hello

也适用于空字符串

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。

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));
    }
}

这是我想到的:

std::stringstream trimmer;
trimmer << str;
trimmer >> str;

流提取自动消除空白，所以这就像一个魅力。 要我说的话，也相当干净优雅。；）

这就是我用的。继续把前面的空格去掉，然后，如果还有剩余的，从后面也这样做。

void trim(string& s) {
    while(s.compare(0,1," ")==0)
        s.erase(s.begin()); // remove leading whitespaces
    while(s.size()>0 && s.compare(s.size()-1,1," ")==0)
        s.erase(s.end()-1); // remove trailing whitespaces
}
