in reply to Trimming whitespaces methods

Hi harishnuti,

Here is one way, you can use String::Util module to trim leading and trailing spaces in neat way. You do similarly for array elements. TIMTOWTDI

use String::Util ':all';
 
 $val = ' abc ';
 
 # "crunch" whitespace and remove leading/trailing whitespace
 $val = crunch($val);

 # remove leading/trailing whitespace
 $val = trim($val);
 
 print ">$val<";

    Another CPAN module for trimming would be Text::Trim.
