Hello everyone, Currently the second argument of funtions String.{trim, trim_leading, trim_trailing}/2 can only be a string. I would like Elixir to support a list of strings to be trimmed, such as:
String.trim_leading(tag_name, ["OTP_", "OTP-"]) There is a precedent of other functions taking list of strings as in the case of `String.starts_with?/2`, `String.end_with?/2` and `String.contains?/2`. Currently it can be achieved with `String.replace_leading/3` and `String.replace_trailing/3` but: 1. by using "" as the replacement it is not as clear as what trim conveys. 2. There is no direct replacement for `String.trim` and two function calls are needed: string |> String.replace_leading([" ", "-", "_"], "") |> String.replace_trailing([" ", "-", "_"], "") where with this would suffice. String.trim(string, [" ", "-", "_"]) Please let me know what you think about it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
