本文深入探讨 Java String 类型 trim() 函数的实现逻辑，特别是其如何处理特殊字符如 Tab 键、回车键及 Hive 中默认字段分隔符等，并提供在实际应用中避免误删此类特殊字符的建议。

由于我们处理的日志需要过滤一些空格，因此大部分处理日志的程序中都用到了java.lang.String.trim()函数。直到有一次遇到一个诡异的问题，某个包含特殊字符的字符串被trim后居然也为空（虽然这种特殊字符也没有什么太大意义…）。

于是查看这个特殊字段，显示为^I(在Linux下可以通过cat -A命令能够查看这个特殊字符），对应键盘上的Tab键，于是便将trim()函数拉出来看了一下：

public String trim() {
    int len = value.length;
    int st = 0;
    char[] val = value;    /* avoid getfield opcode */

    while ((st < len) && (val[st] <= ' ')) {
        st++;
    }
    while ((st < len) && (val[len - 1] <= ' ')) {
        len--;
    }
    return ((st > 0) || (len < value.length)) ? substring(st, len) : this;
}

果然，方法中表明，如果字符小于空格，就过滤掉，仔细阅读trim()函数的注释也可以得出这个结论：

Returns a string whose value is this string, with any leading and trailing whitespace removed.
If this String object represents an empty character sequence, or the first and last characters of character sequence represented by this String object both have codes greater than '\u005Cu0020' (the space character), then a reference to this String object is returned.
Otherwise, if there is no character with a code greater than '\u005Cu0020' in the string, then a String object representing an empty string is returned.
Otherwise, let k be the index of the first character in the string whose code is greater than '\u005Cu0020', and let m be the index of the last character in the string whose code is greater than '\u005Cu0020'. A String object is returned, representing the substring of this string that begins with the character at index k and ends with the character at index m-that is, the result of this.substring(k, m + 1).
This method may be used to trim whitespace (as defined above) from the beginning and end of a string.
Returns:
A string whose value is this string, with any leading and trailing white space removed, or this string if it has no leading or trailing white space.
