|
|
|
||
|
|
## Syntax
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> return$ = [_TRIM$](_TRIM$)(text$)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Description
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Shorthand to using [LTRIM$](LTRIM$)([RTRIM$](RTRIM$)("text"))
|
||
|
|
* text$ is the [STRING](STRING) value to trim.
|
||
|
|
* If text$ contains no leading or trailing space characters, it is returned unchanged.
|
||
|
|
* Convert fixed length [STRING](STRING) values by using a different return$ variable.

Demonstrating how _TRIM$(text$) can replace LTRIM$(RTRIM$(text$)):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```vb
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
text$ = SPACE$(10) + "some text" + SPACE$(10)
|
||
|
|
PRINT "[" + text$ + "]"
|
||
|
|
PRINT "[" + RTRIM$(text$) + "]"
|
||
|
|
PRINT "[" + LTRIM$(text$) + "]"
|
||
|
|
PRINT "[" + LTRIM$(RTRIM$(text$)) + "]"
|
||
|
|
PRINT "[" + _TRIM$(text$) + "]"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[ some text ]
|
||
|
|
[ some text]
|
||
|
|
[some text ]
|
