Question

I have successfully decrypted a sensitive data using nodejs crypto library.

The problem is that the decrypted data has a trailing non-ascii characters.

How do I trim that?

My current trim function I below does not do the job.

String.prototype.fulltrim = function () {
  return this.replace( /(?:(?:^|\n)\s+|\s+(?:$|\n))/g, '' ).replace( /\s+/g, ' ' );
};

I think following would be suffice.

str.replace(/[^A-Za-z 0-9 \.,\?""!@#\$%\^&\*\(\)-_=\+;:<>\/\\\|\}\{\[\]`~]*/g, '') ;
