JS/JQuery - 如果它是第一个和/或最后一个字符，则从输入字段中删除空格

Question

I have a site search (using Examine & Razor) that breaks if a space character is the first or last (or both) character in a search query. For example "hello" & "hello world" both work fine, but " hello" & "hello " don't. Is it possible to remove any spaces such as these before the input field is submitted using JS/JQuery?

Answer 1

I think what you want is JQuery.trim()

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.trim/

Answer 2

Try using this regular expression for your search strings:

// presume searchStr = '" hello"' or '"hello "' or '" hello world   "'
searchStr.replace(/(")\s+|\s+(")/g,'"'); //=> "hello" or "hello world"

Considering the answer of your choice, the quaotation marks ( " ) are not included? In that case trim would be sufficient. In non jquery script:

searchStr.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,'');
