[wtr-general] using Trim
Hello, Can you tell me how to use correctly Trim? I'm reading a numeric value from an excel file and I need to trim that (in order to obtain '4' instead of '4.0'). var = worksheet2.Range(cell number)['Value'] how do I use trim correctly? it's something likevar = trim(var) ? thanks, John -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

Fromhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(programming) In programming, trim or strip is a common string manipulation function which removes leading and trailing whitespace from a string. If 4.0 is a string: 4.0.split(.)[0] = 4 If 4.0 is a float: 4.0.to_i = 4 Željko -- watir.com - community manager watir.com/book - author watirpodcast.com - host -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.

[wtr-general] Re: set (variable) issue
Hi orde, That was one of the first things I tried. It didn't work the first time, but it was my mistake. It's working fine now with converting into the string. I've found out what's with the changing of the form's position - the scrolbar gets activated, which is weird.
