Re: How do I remove whitespace at the beginning or end of my string?

⭐ in reply to How do I remove whitespace at the beginning or end of my string?

Use substitution along with the special characters ^ and $ which match the beginning and end of strings respectively along with \s which matches whitespace;

$string=~s/^\s+//;
$string=~s/\s+$//;
