Removing leading and trailing linefeeds from a textarea

curiousmaverick

Hello friends,

I have a textarea(with no visualconfig enabled), from which I need to remove leading and trailing linefeeds(newline characters) and also leading and trailing whitespaces.
I've been successful in removing the whitespaces( as i simplycompare for a ""), but not being able to do so for linefeeds(what to compare?).
Kindly guide me on this.

Regards,
Mav

In Perl Context (from PT for example)

$my_string =~ s/^\s+//;
$my_string =~ s/\s+$//;
