Leading/Trailing Whitespace Finder

Write a regex you could pass to .replace() to detect whitespace that sits at the very start or very end of a string (the kind you'd want to trim), while ignoring whitespace in the middle of the text.

//
' hello' / 'hello ' / 'hello' / ' hello ' / 'h e l l o'

Test cases

  • helloexpect match
  • hello expect match
  • helloexpect no match
  • hello expect match
  • h e l l oexpect no match
