trim: Trim a character vector

Description

Almost identical to glue::trim() save a slight difference in error handling for non-character input. This function trims a character vector according to the trimming rules used by glue. These follow similar rules to Python Docstrings, with the following features:

• Leading and trailing whitespace from the first and last lines is removed.

• A uniform amount of indentation is stripped from the second line on, equal to the minimum indentation of all non-blank lines after the first.

• Lines can be continued across newlines by using \\.

Usage

trim(x)

Value

A character vector.

Arguments

x

[character].

  "))

cat(trim("
    A formatted string \\
    can also be on a \\
    single line
    "))
