Chop or Chomp string

It is used to chop off the end of line characters. For this Scala has an inbuilt method stripLineEnd.

Syntax:

    string.stripLineEnd

Program to chop/Strip String in Scala

object MyClass {
    def main(args: Array[String]) {
        val str = "rfgdg\n"
        println("The string is '" + str.stripLineEnd + "' ") 
    }
}

Output:

The string is 'rfgdg' 

A string chomp method can be created like this,

    def chomp(str: String) = str.stripLineEnd

Example:

object MyClass {
    // function definition
    def chomp(str: String) = str.stripLineEnd
    
    def main(args: Array[String]) {
        val text = "Hello world!\n"
    
        // function calling
        println("chomp(text): " + chomp(text))
    }
}

Output:

chomp(text): Hello world!
