[Boost-users] a little help with trimming strings

Hi,

Is it possible using the trim() family of functions to remove not just
white space, but some substring from the right of a string? For
example, if I want to remove commas from the right:

  string str = "whatever,";
  TrimRight(str, ",");
  // str == "whatever" now.

or a full string to trim:

    string str = "hello world";
    TrimRight(str, "world");
    // str == "hello ";

I could write these simple functions myself but am wondering if boost
can do that already,

Thanks,
Mark
