strings.TrimLeftFunc()

The TrimLeftFunc() function is an inbuilt function of strings package which is used to get a string with all leading Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) removed. It accepts two parameters – a string and function, and returns trimmed string.

Syntax:

func TrimLeftFunc(str string, f func(rune) bool) string

Parameter(s):

• str : The string in which we have to remove leading Unicode code points.
• f : The function to be checked the given condition for leading Unicode code point.

Return Value:

The return type of TrimLeftFunc() function is a string, it returns a string with all leading Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) removed.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strings.TrimLeftFunc() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	// To check space
	f_IsSpace := func(r rune) bool {
		return unicode.IsSpace(r)
	}

	// to check number
	f_IsNumber := func(r rune) bool {
		return unicode.IsNumber(r)
	}
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("  Hello, world.", f_IsSpace))
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("0891Hello, world123", f_IsNumber))
}

Output:

Hello, world.
Hello, world123

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strings.TrimLeftFunc() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	// To check all type of Unicode code points
	// except letters and numbers
	f_Trim := func(r rune) bool {
		return !unicode.IsLetter(r) && !unicode.IsNumber(r)
	}

	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("  Hello, world.", f_Trim))
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("0891Hello, world123", f_Trim))
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("@@@Hello, world###", f_Trim))
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("...Hello, world,,,", f_Trim))
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("  Hello, world!!!", f_Trim))
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeftFunc("+++Hello, world===", f_Trim))
}

Output:

Hello, world.
0891Hello, world123
Hello, world###
Hello, world,,,
Hello, world!!!
Hello, world===
