Will try my best and look for it.

Sometimes it's good if things take a rest.

Came back to that, because I had to change the
string-strip function for my needs.

The task was to pick and transform references from
textes with legal matters

        81 Js 2701/96,

->        81Js2701-96

As these references sometimes have been followed by a
commata, as shown, this should be removed too.

So I inserted a commata into the expression:

   (string-match
"\\`[[:space:]\/\n]*\\(\\(?:.\\|\n\\)*?\\)[[:space:],\n]*\\'" str)
                                                   ^

Other users may need other changes. What about
to make this expression a customizable user
var?
