In which or where
Hi everyone,
I'm not native speaker, but I have some knowledge of the language.
I need some help with the following programming-related sentence:
Whitespace can be removed from strings with _.trim(string, chars), where string represents the string in which the whitespace will be removed and chars the characters that will be removed.
Questions:
- I'm using "whitespace" as an uncountable noun. Could I've use white spaces as countable nouns?
- I used “removed with” in my sentence. Is that correct for “tools”?
- Could I’ve use “by using” instead of “removed with”?
- Is it ok that I wrote the a single sentence instead of splitting it in two? It seems kind of long.
- I wrote “the string in which”, is that correct?
- Could I’ve used “the string where the white space will be removed” or something else?
- If I wrote "where/in which the white space will be removed from”, would the use of from be incorrect?
- Are there any other mistakes or wrong use of words I should be aware of?
Top answer
" You can say "with" or "using". I'm not tremendously keen on "by using". "whitespace" is OK as one word.
- " You can say "with" or "using".
- I'm not tremendously keen on "by using".
- "whitespace" is OK as one word.
- I see no reason to italicise it.
- It does not seem logical to italicise "trim" since it is not a replaceable item.
