I really think, though, that a buffers.strip function would be the way to go, instead of futzing after the damage is done.
In lua, buffers.getcontent('name') gives the contents of the buffer labelled 'name'. You can post-process this in whatever way you want. For example, you could write a lua function userdata.strip that strips the leading and ending black spaces from a string, and then call
context(userdata.strip(buffers.getcontent('name))) local s = [[
foo bar bar ]] print(string.fullstrip(s)) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
