gcomnz skribis 2005-04-12 16:46 (-0700): > [words() and trim()] I thought split'd still split on /\s+/ by default? $string.split is easy to use, and because join uses ' ' by default (this is my interpretation of the /lists in scalar context/ thread), $string.split.join trims all excess whitespace, even between words. Handy :)
trim would be nice though, because I miss BASIC's ltrim and rtrim. Perhaps those can be written as trim(:left) and trim(:right), abbreviated to trim :l and trim :r?
