trim

I have a little php script that removes the last character of a file. $contents = file_get_contents($path); rtrim($contents); $contents = substr($contents, 0, -1); $fh = fopen($path, 'w') or die("can't open file"); fwrite($fh, $contents); fclose($fh); So it reads in the file contents, strips off the last character and then truncates the file and writes the string back to it. This all works fine. My worry is that this file could contain a lot of data and the file_get_contents() call would then hold all this data in memory which could potentially max out my servers memory. Is there a more

I would like to configure JAXB so that it trims whitespaces on all string fields I saw the following answer : How to configure JAXB so it trims whitespaces when unmarshalling tag value? But I do not want to have to annotate all string fields as per the suggested answer @XmlElement(required=true) @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(MyNormalizedStringAdapter.class) String name; Thanks! Create a XmlAdapter . package com.foo.bar; public class StringTrimAdapter extends XmlAdapter<String, String> { @Override public String unmarshal(String v) throws Exception { if (v == null) return null; return v.trim(); }

Suppose I have a MySQL table of one column: "Message". It is of type TEXT. I now want to query all rows, but the text can be large (not extremely large but large) and I only want to get a summary of them. For example the result can be populated into a list. Is there a way to trim the text to a specific length (say, 10 characters), and add ellipsis if the text is trimmed? For example: Message ----------- 12345678901234 1234567890 12345 12345678901 Query result: 1234567... 1234567890 12345 1234567... Thanks! select case when length(message) > 7 then concat(substring(message, 1, 7), '...') else

How do you trim whitespace from the start and end of a string? trim " abc " => "abc" Edit: Ok, let me be a little clearer. I did not understand that string literals were treated so differently from Strings. I would like to do this: import qualified Data.Text as T let s :: String = " abc " in T.strip s Is this possible in Haskell? I am using -XOverloadedStrings but that appears only to work for literals. If you have serious text processing needs then use the text package from hackage: > :set -XOverloadedStrings > import Data.Text > strip " abc " "abc" If you're too stubborn to use text and don

What is the best way to trim all the properties of the model passed to the MVC web api (post method with complex object). One thing simply can be done is calling Trim function in the getter of all the properties. But, I really do not like that. I want the simple way something like the one mentioned for the MVC here ASP.NET MVC: Best way to trim strings after data entry. Should I create a custom model binder? To trim all incoming string values in Web API, you can define a Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConverter : class TrimmingConverter : JsonConverter { public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType) {
