Trimming whitespaces

[JoeJustice]

Is there a way to trim whitespaces with LScript?

It's been a long while since I used LScript, but looking at the docs it seems that there is no direct way of doing it, there is no trim function. However, a combination of strleft/strright and strsub should do the trick. I'm assuming we are talking about text strings...

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Was hoping for a better way.

<var>.pack() and <var>.trunc() should remove leading and trailing whitespace in lscript on strings.

var a ="   This is a string with leadiing and trailing white space.   ";
a = a.pack();
a = a.trunc(); // a should now be "This is a string with leading and trailing white space."

Nice! good to know.
