This is something I could hack together, but I wondered if anybody had a clean solution to my problem. Something that I throw together wont necessarily be very concise or speedy!I have a string like this \[code\]///hello/world///\[/code\]. I need to strip only the first and last slash, none of the others, so that I get a string like this \[code\]//hello/world//\[/code\].PHP's \[code\]trim\[/code\] isn't quite right right: performing \[code\]trim($string, '/')\[/code\] will return \[code\]hello/world\[/code\].One thing to note is that the string won't necessarily have any slashes at the beginning or end. Here are a few examples of what I would like to happen to different strings:\[code\]///hello/world/// > //hello/world///hello/world/// > hello/world//hello/world/ > hello/world\[/code\]Thanks in advance for any help!
