gcue Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) hopefully me pasting this code here will translate properly... the first instance of $user does not get stripped but the second instance does. not sure what type of space is there but it is not getting stripped - killing me! $user = "JNW " ;~ $user = "JNW " $user = StringStripWS($user, 8) $user = StringStripCR($user) MsgBox(0,"", "_" & $user & "_") any help is greatly appreciated! delme.au3 Edited May 11, 2022 by gcue hmm just copied it from the post and the weird spacing did not carry over - uploading the au3 file for testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Copying from the code posted, both strings use a regular whitespace (0x20). Use StringToASCIIArray to see which character is there. EDIT: sorry, I just copied part of the code using the forum Quote function. It replaced 0xA0 by 0x32.

Nine Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Yes you have a char 160 (no break space) instead of a usual char 32... “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subz Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 You could use regular expression to remove non-printable characters + spaces for example: StringRegExpReplace($user, "[^[:print:]]|\s", "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
