Remove whitespace from string in Objective-C

objective-c, string, whitespace

Solution

There is method for that in NSString class. Check `stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)set`. You should use `[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]` as parameter:

NSString *foo = @" untrimmed string ";
NSString *trimmed = [foo stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet]];

Problem

I have a couple of strings. Some have a whitespace in the beginning and some not. I want to check if a string begins with a whitespace and if so remove it.
