trim_anything

string

A string. The pattern to be trimmed (not interpreted as
regular expression). So to trim a period, use <code>char = "."</code> and not
<code>char = "\\."</code>).

pattern

Which side do you want to trim from? <code>"both"</code> is the
default, but you can also have just either <code>"left"</code> or <code>"right"</code>
(or optionally the shortened <code>"b"</code>, <code>"l"</code> and <code>"r"</code>).

side

See <code><a rd-options="strex:str_trim_anything" href="/link/strex%3A%3Astr_trim_anything()?package=filesstrings&version=3.0.0&to=strex%3Astr_trim_anything" data-mini-rdoc="strex:str_trim_anything::strex::str_trim_anything()">strex::str_trim_anything()</a></code>.

This started out as a package for file and string manipulation.
Since then, the 'fs' and 'strex' packages emerged, offering functionality
previously given by this package (but it's done better in these new ones).
Those packages have hence almost pushed 'filesstrings' into extinction.
However, it still has a small number of unique, handy file manipulation
functions which can be seen in the vignette.
One example is a function to remove spaces from all file names in a
directory.
