rstrip¶

The rstrip filter is designed to remove trailing whitespace characters from the end of a string.

Functionality

Strings: Takes a string as input.
Stripping: Removes any whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines) from the end of the string.
Output: Returns a new string with the trailing whitespace removed.

Syntax

    {{ input_string | rstrip }}

Arguments

The rstrip filter does not require any arguments.

Code Samples

Example 1: Removing Trailing Spaces

    {% assign message = "This string has trailing spaces.   " %}

    {{ message | rstrip }}

Output:

This string has trailing spaces.

Example 2: Removing Trailing Tabs and Newlines

    {% assign code = "def function():\n    pass  \t\n" %}

    {{ code | rstrip }}

Output:

def function():
pass

Empty Strings: If the input string is empty, the rstrip filter returns an empty string.
Strings Without Trailing Whitespace: If the input string does not have any trailing whitespace, the filter returns the original string unchanged.
Non-String Input: If the input is not a string, the rstrip filter might attempt to convert it to a string or return an error, depending on how Experience Builder handles type conversions.

The rstrip filter is a handy tool for cleaning and normalizing string data.
It is particularly useful when dealing with user input or data imported from external sources where trailing whitespace might be present.
Combine it with lstrip to remove both leading and trailing whitespace, or with strip to remove whitespace from both ends in a single operation.
