request: StringLTrim($str) and StringRTrim($str)

[anonymous]

these functions would either strip the left or right whitespace off of a string. VERY VERY useful. standard keyword in basic (ltrim, rtrim).

Automatic ticket cleanup.

working code example of the necessary functions. If you want this coded in C++ I am sure I could do it in less than an hour.

func ltrim($s)

if ""==$s then

return $s

endif
local $s2,$index,$pos=-1,$ch
for $index = 1 to stringlen($s)

if (asc(stringmid($s,$index,1)) > 32) then

$pos=$index
exitloop

endif

next
if (-1<>$pos) then

return StringMid($s,$pos)

endif
return $s

endfunc

func rtrim($s)

if ""==$s then

return $s

endif
local $s2,$index,$pos=-1,$ch
for $index = stringlen($s) to 1 step -1

if (asc(stringmid($s,$index,1)) > 32) then

$pos=$index
exitloop

endif

next
if (-1<>$pos) then

return StringMid($s,1,$pos)

endif
return $s

endfunc

func trim($s)

return ltrim(rtrim($s))

endfunc

;msgbox(0,"test","ltrim"""&ltrim(" blah ")&"""")
;msgbox(0,"test","rtrim"""&rtrim(" blah ")&"""")
;msgbox(0,"test","trim"""&trim(" blah ")&"""")

Can be accomplished with StringRegExpReplace and probably with other functions.

or with StringStripWS

[Valik]

StringStripWS() already has options for stripping leading (left) and trailing (right) whitespace.
