$result = StringTrimLeft("I am a string", 3)

Just a little clearification

Are'nt these the same ?????

$result = StringTrimLeft($myArray, 3)

$result = _ArrayTrim( $myArray, 3)

or is there a more specific use

Depends on what is in $myArray.

#include <Array.au3>
Dim $myarray[2]
$myarray[0] = 'Hello world'
$myarray[1] = 'Ola senior!'

msgbox(0,'Default', $myarray[0] & @LF & $myarray[1])

StringTrimLeft($myarray, 3)

msgbox(0,'StringTrimLeft', $myarray[0] & @LF & $myarray[1])

_ArrayTrim($myarray, 3)

msgbox(0,'_ArrayTrim', $myarray[0] & @LF & $myarray[1])

Note that StringTrimLeft, didn't do anything, because a) It doesn't work on arrays, and It doesn't affect the variable by reference, it returns the changed string.

In fact, if you do this:

Dim $myarray[2]
$myarray[0] = 'Hello world'
$myarray[1] = 'Ola senior!'

$myarray = StringTrimLeft($myarray, 3)
msgbox(0,'Default', $myarray[0] & @LF & $myarray[1])

You get an error because $myarray is no longer an array.

I can't actually see how you assumed that either of them do the same thing at all. Did you even try them first?
