you could just toss your outgoing variable into a Trim() function before
using it, that will trim the left and right spaces.

Subject: EnableCFoutputOnly not cutting the mustard in Custom Tag
I've got a custom tag which returns a small string, but I can't get
rid of the extra spaces around the string when it's called. This has
screwed me up several times, and I haven't found a solution yet.
EnableCFoutputOnly gets rid of most of the garbage whitespace, but it
leaves a space to the left and right of the desired output string.
####### Custom Tag ########
<cfsetting enableCFoutputOnly="yes">
<cfscript>
FinalValue = result_of_a_bunch_of_processing;
writeOutput(FinalValue);
</cfscript>
<cfsetting enableCFoutputOnly="no"
####### Calling Script ########
FinalValue = "<cf_MyCustomTag>"
###### Results in Browser ######
FinalValue = " result_of_a_bunch_of_processing "
But, I would like to see:
FinalValue = "result_of_a_bunch_of_processing"
See those spaces that show up? What's causing them? How do I get rid
of them?
Obviously there are workarounds, such as:
*Send the string back to the calling script with caller.FinalValue
However, I would like to know if this can work without going the
caller-scope route.
Thanks,
Jamie
