StringStripWS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strips the white space in a string.

StringStripWS ( "string", flag )

Parameters

string The string to strip.

flag Flag to indicate the type of stripping that should be performed (add the flags together for multiple operations):

1 = strip leading white space

2 = strip trailing white space

4 = strip double (or more) spaces between words

8 = strip all spaces (over-rides all other flags)

Return Value

Returns the new string stripped of the requested white space.

Remarks

Whitespace includes Chr(9) thru Chr(13) which are HorizontalTab, LineFeed, VerticalTab, FormFeed, and CarriageReturn. Whitespace also includes the null string ( Chr(0) ) and the standard space ( Chr(32) ).

To strip single spaces between words, use the function StringReplace.

"string" parameter cannot be a binaryString.

StringTrimLeft

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

StringTrimLeft ( "string", count )

Parameters

string The string to evaluate.

count The number of characters to trim.

Return Value

Returns the string trimmed by count characters from the left.

Remarks

If count is out-of-bounds, an empty string is returned.

StringTrimLeft($str, $n) is functionally equivalent to StringRight($str, StringLen($str) - $n)

StringTrimRight

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

@SmOke_N,

Was this what you were going for?

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...58entry157758

Just jokin'

:) Ha... I don't think that thread was a stab at me personally (More at the guy that DIDN'T read the help file) It feels like I read it everyday :mellow: Matter of fact, there are 3 things you can always count on being open on my desktop. 1. Firefox 2. SciTe 3. AutoIt Beta Help File :)

But.... Geesh... do you have a memory!!

A highly selective one according to my wife.

...and yeah, no real stab at you and not really at the OP either... it is a big (but excellent) help file. A help file search for the term "trim" would not always lead one to StringStripWS... good post.
