Dear folks, I'm pretty new to TT.
I was just creating my first project when I noticed that virtual method "trim" produces empty output. I read http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/VMethods.html several times but it did not help. Finally I wrote this test template: ---------8<------------------8<-------------------- chunk: [% ccard_no = "1234567824683579"; ccard_no.chunk(4).join %] collapse: [% text = " The bird\n is the word" %] [% text.collapse %] dquote: [% quote = 'He said "Oh really?"' %] [% quote.dquote %] lower: [% word = 'BIRD' %] [% word.lower %] match: [% name = 'Larry Wall' %] [% matches = name.match('(\w+) (\w+)') %] [% matches.1 %], [% matches.0 %] repeat: [% name = 'foo' %] [% name.repeat(3) %] replace: [% name = 'foo, bar & baz' %] [% name.replace('\W+', '_') %] remove: [% name = 'foo, bar & baz' %] [% name.remove('\W+') %] substr: [% str = 'foo bar baz wiz waz woz' %] [% str.substr(4, 3) %] squote: [% tim = "Tim O'Reilly" %] [% tim.squote %] trim: [% text = ' hello world ' %] [% text.trim %] ucfirst: [% word = 'bird' %] [% word.ucfirst %] upper: [% word = 'bird' %] [% word.upper %] ---------8<------------------8<-------------------- All the examples are from the mentioned web page. (Note: substr is fixed) This is the output of "tpage --pre_chomp methodtest" command: ---------8<------------------8<-------------------- chunk:1234 5678 2468 3579 collapse: dquote: lower: match:Wall, Larry repeat:foofoofoo replace:foo_bar_baz remove:foobarbaz substr:bar squote: trim: ucfirst: upper: ---------8<------------------8<-------------------- Did I miss something or this is some well known bug?
