I am not shure what do you want to do.
1) If you want to see if a string contains another string you can do it like
this:
'test ' =~ /test/
2) if you want to delete spaces from the end of the string you can do it
like this:
'test '.rstrip
or like this
'test '.delete(' ')

Subject: [Wtr-general] String matching
Hi folks,
I'm reading a value from a textArea using text_field however all the
whitespace after the value is
included i.e. I'm getting back a string like
"test "
I'm trying to match a preset value "test" to this but I can't get the string
matches method to work?
I've tried
str1= "test "
str2 = "test"
str1.matches("^"+str2+" *$)
but it doesn't seem to match. My regexp isn't as strong as it could be but
I'd appreciate any help.
Perhaps there's some sort of trim function available?
Thanks,
Mark.
