trim

Definition

Remove trailing blanks from a string object.

This generic interface extends the intrinsic Fortran trim function to support the fpx string type.

The result is returned as a deferred-length intrinsic character expression with trailing blanks removed.

If the string is not allocated, an empty character string is returned.

Examples

Basic usage:

type(string) :: s
character(:), allocatable :: c
 
s = 'hello   '
 
c = trim(s)
print *, ''      ! 

Unallocated strings:

type(string) :: s
 
print *, len(trim(s))         ! 0

Returns

Deferred-length character string without trailing blanks.
