Here's a version I have that trims whitespace from both sides of a string, and includes 'normal' whitespace, along with hard spaces (watch word wraps): function trim pWhat local dummy,tRetVal if the platform is "MacOS" then put "\xca" into tHardSpc else put "\xa0" into tHardSpc get matchText(pWhat, "(?s)^(\s|" & tHardSpc & ")*(.*?)(\s|" & tHardSpc & ")*$",dummy,tRetVal) return tRetVal end trim However using RegEx for trimming is not the fastest approach, although the difference between 0.0391 ticks for the RegEx version vs. 0.0004 ticks for the fastest version is not recognizable unless you have to do it thousands of times...
