Delete leading space on string
- Thread starter flea333
- Start date
Here's a function from my site that I had written a while back that should do the trick for you:
func StripSpaces : string
param string targetline
integer str_length
strlen targetline str_length ;Get length of string
while str_length > 0 ;While the string has at least one character in it...
if rstrcmp targetline " " 1 ;Compare the first character in the string to a space
strdelete targetline 0 1 ;If the first character is a space, delete it from the string
else
exitwhile ;Else exit the while loop
endif
endwhile
return targetline ;Return modified string
endfunc
