size_t find_last_not_of (const string& str, size_t pos = npos) const;

C++11

size_t find_last_not_of (const string& str, size_t pos = npos) const noexcept;

C++14

size_t find_last_not_of (const string& str, size_t pos = npos) const noexcept;

Example

In below example for std::string::find_last_not_of.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstddef>

int main () {
   std::string str ("It erases trailing white-spaces   \n");
   std::string whitespaces (" \t\f\v\n\r");

   std::size_t found = str.find_last_not_of(whitespaces);
   if (found!=std::string::npos)
      str.erase(found+1);
   else
      str.clear();

   std::cout << '[' << str << "]\n";

   return 0;
}

The sample output should be like this −

[It erases trailing white-spaces]
