Trim spaces from end of a NSString

Question

I need to remove spaces from the end of a string  How can I do that  Example  if string is  Hello      it must become  Hello

A simple solution to only trim one end instead of both ends in Objective-C:

@implementation NSString (category)

/// trims the characters at the end
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingSuffixCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
    NSUInteger i = self.length;
    while (i > 0 && [characterSet characterIsMember:[self characterAtIndex:i - 1]]) {
        i--;
    }
    return [self substringToIndex:i];
}

@end

And a symmetrical utility for trimming the beginning only:

@implementation NSString (category)

/// trims the characters at the beginning
- (NSString *)stringByTrimmingPrefixCharactersInSet:(NSCharacterSet *)characterSet {
    NSUInteger i = 0;
    while (i < self.length && [characterSet characterIsMember:[self characterAtIndex:i]]) {
        i++;
    }
    return [self substringFromIndex:i];
}

@end

I came up with this function  which basically behaves similarly to one in the answer by Alex   - NSString  trimLastSpace  NSString  str      int i   str length - 1      for    i  gt   0  amp  amp   str characterAtIndex i          i--       return  str substringToIndex i   1       whitespaceCharacterSet besides space itself includes also tab character  which in my case could not appear  So i guess a plain comparison could suffice

To trim all trailing whitespace characters  I m guessing that is actually your intent   the following is a pretty clean  amp  concise way to do it   Swift 5   let trimmedString   string replacingOccurrences of     s     with      options   regularExpression    Objective-C   NSString  trimmedString    string stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString     s    withString     options NSRegularExpressionSearch range NSMakeRange 0  string length      One line  with a dash of regex

The solution is described here  How to remove whitespace from right end of NSString   Add the following categories to NSString   -  NSString   stringByTrimmingTrailingCharactersInSet  NSCharacterSet   characterSet       NSRange rangeOfLastWantedCharacter    self rangeOfCharacterFromSet  characterSet invertedSet                                                                 options NSBackwardsSearch       if  rangeOfLastWantedCharacter location    NSNotFound            return                return  self substringToIndex rangeOfLastWantedCharacter location 1      non-inclusive    -  NSString   stringByTrimmingTrailingWhitespaceAndNewlineCharacters       return  self stringByTrimmingTrailingCharactersInSet               NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet        And you use it as such    yourNSString stringByTrimmingTrailingWhitespaceAndNewlineCharacters

Here you go     -  NSString   removeEndSpaceFrom  NSString   strtoremove      NSUInteger location   0      unichar charBuffer  strtoremove length         strtoremove getCharacters charBuffer       int i   0      for i    strtoremove length   i  gt 0  i--            NSCharacterSet  charSet    NSCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet           if   charSet characterIsMember charBuffer i - 1                  break                      return  strtoremove substringWithRange NSMakeRange location  i  - location        So now just call it  Supposing you have a string that has spaces on the front and spaces on the end and you just want to remove the spaces on the end  you can call it like this   NSString  oneTwoThree       TestString      NSString  resultString  resultString    self removeEndSpaceFrom oneTwoThree     resultString will then have no spaces at the end
