[erlang-questions] string:strip/3 don't work right striping

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greetings,

While I can not see all space that you want to delete in the input (it
would be helpful if you provided " at the beginning and the end) I can
guess that you have two \n at the end of each line. If you want to
delete any leading and/or trailing blanks (space) then string:strip/1
would be a good choice.
Given a better description of the input, and what you want to do with,
it might result in a better suggestion.
