如何去掉String的前后空格或某字符

在objective-c中，如何去掉一个string 的前后的空格字符或某个特定字符呢？

如@ “ abc 123 ”字符串前后有空格，该如何去掉？

使用nsstring 的实例方法stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet ：可以解决该问题。

方法如下：

[@" abc  123  " stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]]；

NSString *newString = [oldString stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];

 

 

NSString 中该方法说明如下：

stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:

Returns a new string made by removing from both ends of the receiver characters contained in a given character set.

- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)set

Parameters

set

A character set containing the characters to remove from the receiver. set must not be nil .

Return Value

A new string made by removing from both ends of the receiver characters contained in set . If the receiver is composed entirely of characters from set , the empty string is returned.

这是典型的其他语言中trim 方法。我要问的是，如何去掉最左边的空格？又该如何去掉最右边的空格？

在NSString 的类中没有提供实现这类需求的方法，我们只能手工去添加这些方法。

 

@interface NSString (TrimmingAdditions)
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingLeftCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet ;
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingRightCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet ;
@end

@implementation NSString (TrimmingAdditions)

- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingLeftCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
    NSUInteger location = 0;
    NSUInteger length = [self length];
    unichar charBuffer[length];    
    [self getCharacters:charBuffer];

    for (location; location < length; location++) {
        if (![characterSet characterIsMember:charBuffer[location]]) {
            break;
        }
    }

    return [self substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(location, length - location)];
}

- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingRightCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
    NSUInteger location = 0;
    NSUInteger length = [self length];
    unichar charBuffer[length];    
    [self getCharacters:charBuffer];

    for (length; length > 0; length--) {
        if (![characterSet characterIsMember:charBuffer[length - 1]]) {
            break;
        }
    }

    return [self substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(location, length - location)];
}

@end

 

使用stringByTrimmingRightCharactersInSet 方法去掉一个字符串最右边的空格。

NSLog(@"%@",[@"abc  123   " stringByTrimmingRightCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]]);

 

 如何去掉一个字符串@ “0.012300 ”最右边的“0 “呢？这是典型的float 格式化成字符串以后的形式，显示时最好去掉最右边的“0 ”。

解决方法如下：

[@"0.012300" stringByTrimmingRightCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@"0"]]；

  

在NSString 中trim 字符时，不理解为何不提供分别去掉左右字符的方法，如其他语言的ltrim 和rtim 。
