I'm working out of chapter 6 of Core Python Programming (2nd Edition). For one problem, I am supposed to write a script that is the equivalent of string.strip(). Obviously, using any version of string.strip() defeats the purpose of the exercise.
I'm not sure how to proceed. My biggest stumbling block is how to detect the leading and trailing whitespace. If I wanted to remove all whitespace in a string, I would probably break the string into its individual components, cycle through the string, detect the whitespace, and remove them. Any hints? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
