lua判断字符不为空或空格,如何从Lua中的字符串中删除空格？

I want to remove all spaces from a string in Lua. This is what I have tried:

string.gsub(str, "", "")

string.gsub(str, "% ", "")

string.gsub(str, "%s*", "")

This does not seem to work. How can I remove all of the spaces?

It works, you just have to assign the actual result/return value. Use one of the following variations:

str = str:gsub("%s+", "")

str = string.gsub(str, "%s+", "")

I use %s+ as there's no point in replacing an empty match (i.e. there's no space). This just doesn't make any sense, so I look for at least one space character (using the + quantifier).
