I'd probably still put it in some sort of util function you can call
anywhere.
function eliminateSpaces(phrase:String):String
{
return phrase.split(' ').join('');
}

You should rethink what you are doing :) If the string passed contains
more than 1 space, your function will not return anything. Do you see
a return statement here?
if (phrase.indexOf(" ") != -1) {
eliminateSpaces(phrase);
}
Well, and the whole function seems to be an overkill, you can reach
the same result with a single line:
phrase = phrase.split(" ").join("");

Hi list...
I've written a simple routine to eliminate spaces from a user entered
string. But, it won't return the string. I'm sure it's something
silly. Can anyone shed light?
- MM
function eliminateSpaces(phrase:String):String {
var foundSpace = phrase.indexOf(" ");
if (foundSpace != -1) {
phrase = String(phrase.substring(0, foundSpace) +
phrase.substring(foundSpace + 1));
if (phrase.indexOf(" ") != -1) {
eliminateSpaces(phrase);
} else {
trace("output: " + phrase);
return phrase;
}
}
}
var s:String = eliminateSpaces("moe and larry and curly");
trace(s);
/* RESULT:
output: moeandlarryandcurly
Undefined
*/
