k$ qri String#strip
----------------------------------------------------------- String#strip
     str.strip   => new_str
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Returns a copy of str with leading and trailing whitespace removed.

Leading and trailing doesn't mean internal.  So:

"a1\t b1".strip #=> "a1\t b1"
