How to remove a character that should not exist in beginning/end of string?

Here is a classic example:

Dear Titan,

The third one fails .. Should be a small tweak, which I am not able to guess.

Sorry my regex wasn't thorough enough, this works: ^\|*(.*[^\|])\|*$

RegExReplace("irc.freenode.net/autohotkey", "^(?=(.(?=[\0-r\[]*((?<=\.).))))(?:[c-\x73]{2,8}(\S))+((2)|\b[^\2-]){2}\D++$", "$u3$1$3$4$2")

Thanks Titan, it works!
How do I use a `n ( linefeed) instead of a pipe?

How to remove leading spaces, trailing spaces, or both from a string?

With AutoTrim, On ( which is the default setting ),
Variable = %Variable% will remove both the leading spaces as well as the trailing spaces.

I need three seperate one-line RegExReplace solutions that shall

AllTrim : Remove leading spaces, trailing spaces
LTrim: Remove only leading spaces
RTrim: Remove only trailing spaces



Solution:

1.s ^([ \t]*)(.+)([ \t]*)$
1.r \2


2.s ^([ \t]*)(.+)
2.r \2


3.s (.+)([ \t]*)$
3.r \1

Dear majkinetor,

I do not understand it ...

Here is my take at Goyyah's first request, I end with something close of the first solution given by Titan for the pipe, but I use something else that I thought would be cool to introduce, bound assertions for start and end of string in a multiline string.
