trimMargin
Trims leading whitespace characters followed by marginPrefix from every line of a source string and removes the first and the last lines if they are blank (notice difference blank vs empty).
Doesn't affect a line if it doesn't contain marginPrefix except the first and the last blank lines.
Doesn't preserve the original line endings.

val withoutMargin2 = """
#XYZ
#foo
#bar
""".trimMargin("#")
println(withoutMargin2) // XYZ\nfoo\nbar
//sampleEnd
}Parameters
marginPrefix - non-blank string, which is used as a margin delimiter. Default is | (pipe character).
