# Right Trim > Trim whitespace characters from the end of a string.
## Usage ```javascript var rtrim = require( '@stdlib/string/right-trim' ); ``` #### rtrim( str ) Trims whitespace from the end of a string. ```javascript var out = rtrim( ' \t\t\n Beep \r\n\t ' ); // returns ' \t\t\n Beep' ```
## Notes - Following [Unicode 6.3.0][unicode] and later, "whitespace" is defined as the following characters: `[ \\f\\n\\r\\t\\v\\u0020\\u00a0\\u1680\\u2000-\\u200a\\u2028\\u2029\\u202f\\u205f\\u3000\\ufeff]`.
## Examples ```javascript var rtrim = require( '@stdlib/string/right-trim' ); var out = rtrim( ' Whitespace ' ); // returns ' Whitespace' out = rtrim( '\t\t\tTabs\t\t\t' ); // returns '\t\t\tTabs' out = rtrim( '\n\n\nNew Lines\n\n\n' ); // returns '\n\n\nNew Lines' ```

## CLI
### Usage ```text Usage: rtrim [options] [] Options: -h, --help Print this message. -V, --version Print the package version. --split sep Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'. ```
### Notes - If the split separator is a [regular expression][mdn-regexp], ensure that the `split` option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes. ```bash # Not escaped... $ echo -n $' foo \n bar ' | rtrim --split /\r?\n/ # Escaped... $ echo -n $' foo \n bar ' | rtrim --split /\\r?\\n/ ``` - The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.
### Examples ```bash $ rtrim 'beep boop ' beep boop ``` To use as a [standard stream][standard-streams], ```bash $ echo -n 'beep boop ' | rtrim beep boop ``` By default, when used as a [standard stream][standard-streams], the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the `split` option. ```bash $ echo -n ' foo \t bar \t baz ' | rtrim --split '\t' foo bar baz ```
