:e.g. <code>length("hello world")</code> would return 11.
 
Other languages may have string functions with similar or exactly the same syntax or parameters or outcomes. For example, in many languages the length function is usually represented as ''[[Len (programming)|len]](string)''. The below list of common functions aims to help limit this confusion.

! Description
| Returns a substring of ''string'' between starting at ''startpos'' and ''endpos'', or starting at ''startpos'' of length ''numChars''. The resulting string is truncated if there are fewer than ''numChars'' characters beyond the starting point. ''endpos'' represents the index after the last character in the substring. Note that for variable-length encodings such as [[UTF-8]], [[UTF-16]] or [[Shift-JIS]], it can be necessary to remove string positions at the end, in order to avoid invalid strings.

====C/C++====
There is no standard trim function in C or C++. Most of the available string libraries<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.and.org/vstr/comparison |title=String library comparison |publisher=And.org |access-date= |accessdate=2013-08-24}}</ref> for C contain code which implements trimming, or functions that significantly ease an efficient implementation. The function has also often been called '''EatWhitespace''' in some non-standard C libraries.
 
In C, programmers often combine a ltrim and rtrim to implement trim:

The [[open-source software|open source]] C++ library [[Boost library|Boost]] has several trim variants, including a standard one:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/usage.html#id2742817 |title=Usage – 1.54.0 |publisher=Boost.org |date=2013-05-22 |accessdateaccess-date=2013-08-24}}</ref>
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">

Note that withWith boost's function named simply <code>trim</code> the input sequence is modified in-place, and does not returnreturns ano result.
 
Another [[open-source software|open source]] C++ library [[Qt (toolkitsoftware)|Qt]], has several trim variants, including a standard one:<ref>[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qstring.html#trimmed] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090802041055/http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qstring.html#trimmed |date=August 2, 2009 }}</ref>

The [[Linux kernel]] also includes a strip function, <code>strstrip()</code>, since 2.6.18-rc1, which trims the string "in place". Since 2.6.33-rc1, the kernel uses <code>strim()</code> instead of <code>strstrip()</code> to avoid false warnings.<ref>{{cite web|author=dankamongmen |url=https://github.com/dankamongmen/sprezzos-kernel-packaging/blob/master/changelog |title=sprezzos-kernel-packaging/changelog at master · dankamongmen/sprezzos-kernel-packaging · GitHub |publisher=Github.com |access-date= |accessdate=2016-05-29}}</ref>

Also available for Perl is '''StripLTSpace''' in <code>String::Strip</code> from [[CPAN]].
 
There are, however, two functions that are commonly used to strip whitespace from the end of strings, <code>chomp</code> and <code>chop</code>:
* <code>[http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/chop.html chop]</code> removes the last character from a string and returns it.
* <code>[http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/chomp.html chomp]</code> removes the trailing newline character(s) from a string if present. (What constitutes a newline is [http://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar.html $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR] dependent).
