RE: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values
Thanks Rob & Nathan. Actually I was able to come-up with a work-around. The workaround is to put the value inside a local variable outside of the textarea. This does not create whitespaces: #foovar# However, this creates the whitespaces: #methodname(number)# Now its just basically understanding what triggers one over the other. Hmmm. Again many Thanks!! -Original Message- From: Rob Wilkerson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 4:52 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values Sorry, I probably should have been more specific. The "\s" should strip any representation of "standard" whitespace. Other non-printing characters will not be stripped. You might want to try using the asc() function to see what at least one of those characters might be: asc ( left ( myString, 1 ) ) If it's not a whitespace character, you may have to try something like: REReplace ( myString, '^[\s\xdd]*', '' ) Where, in this case the "dd" in the character class represents the hexadecimal value of the non-printing character.

Re: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values
Sorry, I probably should have been more specific. The "\s" should strip any representation of "standard" whitespace. Other non-printing characters will not be stripped. You might want to try using the asc() function to see what at least one of those characters might be: asc ( left ( myString, 1 ) ) If it's not a whitespace character, you may have to try something like: REReplace ( myString, '^[\s\xdd]*', '' ) Where, in this case the "dd" in the character class represents the hexadecimal value of the non-printing character.

Re: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values
You could also try using a regex to strip \s*: REReplaceNoCase ( textAreaString, '^\s*', '' ) -- Rob Wilkerson On 6/21/06, Nathan Strutz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It could be chr(160) - the literal character for the non-breaking space > ( ).

Re: Eliminating Textarea Whitespaces on UDF retuned values
It could be chr(160) - the literal character for the non-breaking space ( ). Trimming won't cut it out. Instead, try a replace on it. replace(myString,chr(160),"","ALL") -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On 6/21/06, Michael E.
