But using the regular expression matching "^\s*" and "\s*$" works, and

I think what this means is that what you say are runs of spaces are no
such thing, but are some other whitespace character(s).  Perhaps tabs,
or non-breaking spaces?

By all means, you are right.
I supposed they are spaces... at least in the original CVS file.
I've used an Hex editor, and they are character C2A0 (UTF-8) in the file.
Now, executing the following query surprises me:

select rslinha2,
       ascii(substring(rslinha2 from 3 for position('(+)' in rslinha2)-4))
  from plan_maio
 limit 1

resulted in the following:

"2. TAXA VIGILANCIA                                   (+) R$ 13,00";160

So, file_fdw converted my original spaces into character 160.
That's the reason for trim not working.

Thanks for your toughs. You led me to the right direction: when importing data from files, not always what looks like is what it is.


Regards,

Edson Richter.
