Strip or stripping may refer to:
In computer programming, trimming (trim) or stripping (strip) is a string manipulation in which leading and trailing whitespace is removed from a string.
For example, the string (enclosed by apostrophes)
would be changed, after trimming, to
The characters which are considered whitespace varies between programming languages and implementations. For example, C traditionally only counts space, tab, line feed, and carriage return characters, while languages which support Unicode typically include all Unicode space characters. Some implementations also include ASCII control codes (non-printing characters) along with whitespace characters.
Java's trim method considers ASCII spaces and control codes as whitespace, contrasting with the Java isWhitespace()
method, which recognizes all Unicode space characters.
Delphi's Trim function considers characters U+0000 (NULL) through U+0020 (SPACE) to be whitespace.
Following are examples of trimming a string using several programming languages. All of the implementations shown return a new string and do not alter the original variable.
Strip was a short-lived comics anthology published by Marvel UK in 1990. It ran for 20 issues (February - November 1990) and featured work by many British comics creators, including Alan Grant, Ian Gibson, Pat Mills, Kevin O'Neill, Si Spencer and John Wagner. Strips include Marshal Law by Pat Mills and Kev O'Neill and Grimtoad by Grant, Wagner and Gibson.
Torn apart by the face of what¹s real
Thrown down at the feet of despair
Slides in under my skin
I like the claws that cut into me
I¹ve seen the sun go down
I¹ve seen the world go round
While I go mad beneath it
Consumed by emptiness
Feels hard to swallow
I¹m choking on the hatred
My soul is hollow
I¹ve watched you spit out lies through broken teeth
So who am I to say you cannot be
Waiting for a weakness in the scheme
Easy time to lay your hands on me
I¹ve seen the sun go down
I¹ve seen the world go round
While I go mad beneath it
Consumed by hatred
Feels hard to swallow
I¹m choking on the emptiness
My soul is hollow
Step outside your shell into mind
Step outside your world into mine
Waking up in the bottom of a cold damp sleep
Looking down from the top I¹m slipping off in the deep
Consumed by emptiness feels hard to swallow
