I got these:
to strip leading spaces
function trimL aString
return char offset(word 1 of aString, aString) to -1 of aString
end trimL
to strip trailing spaces
function trimR aString
return char 1 to length(word 1 to -1 of aString) + (offset(word
1 of aString, aString) - 1) of aString
end trimR
surprisingly ugly for transcript....

Thanks a lot, Marcus.
The double trim is easy as you say, but I would never have guessed it.
However, by what I see from Alex Tweedly's first ideas about left
and right trims, these may not be so trivial. Any ideas about
simple solutions for these cases?
Alex:
I couldn't seem to make your first suggestions for L and R trims
work. Would you mind spelling out some example routines for me?
Best,
Bob
