Subject: split-string description in the ELR
Date: Tue, 2 May 2017 00:38:13 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B941DB53-18AA-43E0-A54C-3308BC161BC0@gmail.com> (raw)
Without Eli's comment I would never have thought of using split-string to trim a string. But even reading the reference did not make it's use super clear. In the description "trim" is just an option to trim the substrings resulting from splitting the string and it is not obvious that it can be used on it's own to trim a given string.
Could a small modification of the reference be in order to emphasize that use (with an example eventually) ?
