As it is, the trimWhitespace function will not remove the white sapce
characters at the end of the string, as the greedy capturing group .+
captures everything till end of the string, leaving \s* with nothing.
This patch removes the function and uses a proper RegEx which will
match all the whitespace characters at the beginning and ending of the
string and replaces the matched whitespace characters with empty string.
This is a floating fix till #2163 lands
