/* scripters, $_snippy() is obviously much more powerful in that
   you can snip entire dwords from the beginning or end of your string
   (as in example below), but $*snip() is there for your convenience;
   usage is as seen below; $snip() is synonymous with $rstrip().
   thanks kreca and hop for input.  -Xavier

alias testme {
	echo l: $_snippy(l "ez " ez ez ezIIIIIez ez ez)
	echo r: $_snippy(r " ez" ez ez ezIIIIIez ez ez)
	echo rs: [$rsnip(this is a test string    )]
	echo ls: [$lsnip(    this is a test string)]
	echo bs: [$bsnip(  this is a test string  )]

results in:
l: ezIIIIIez ez ez
r: ez ez ezIIIIIez
rs: [this is a test string]
ls: [this is a test string]
bs: [this is a test string]
