The function handler should be placed sufficiently high in the message path so it is available wherever you might need it. Usually this will be in your mainstack stack script, or in a library stack script that is in use.

I don't see how that would work. Trying put sws(on sws tText -- strips white space) gives me on sws tText -- strips white space since the last word of the string is space. AFAICS, this function will never strip anything but white space. Peter M.

concatenate fields
Good evening and, as always, thanks for the help What's the best way to concatenate three fields to make one text string with spaces between the words when you don't know how many or which of the three fields will contain data and you don't want extra spaces in the result? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
