All this little plugin does is removing characters from the beginning and / or end of a given text and returning the trimmed string.
It can either remove a fixed number of characters (useful in places where you’d need the backspace-parameter but it isn’t available) or cut the text at positions defined by a given string.
Freeware means you may use this addon free of
charge in as many installations as you like.

Thanks, this is handy. Using this plugin to rewrite stored paths for our new mobile site.
I do notice that “start_after” does not handle slashes as expected.
Example:
{exp:trimmer start_after=”/entry/”}sometemplategroup/entry/some_entry_id{/exp:trimmer}
would be expected to return:
some_entry_id
but in my testing actually returns:
sometemplategroup/entry/some_entry_id
In our case using the start_after value of “entry” gives an acceptable result. We will only regret this compromise on the day that someone creates a template group that contains the string “entry”.
Thanks for your work!
