add in the special chars you want removed...

class Text {
   static function trim(str:String):String {
      //trace("Text.trim called....: " + str);
      if (typeof str != "string") return "";
      var whiteSpace = " \r\n\t\f";
      //Make sure str is a string
      var startPos = 0;
      //Note: if 0 length string startPos will be 0
      var endPos = str.length-1;
      //Note: if 0 length string endPos will be -1
      while (startPos<str.length) {
         if (whiteSpace.indexOf(str.charAt(startPos))<0) {
            break;
         } else {
            startPos++;
         }
      }
      while (endPos>-1) {
         if (whiteSpace.indexOf(str.charAt(endPos))<0) {
            break;
         } else {
            endPos--;
         }
      }
      if (startPos>endPos) {
         return "";
      }
      return str.substring(startPos, endPos+1);
   }

   static function strip(str:String):String {
      //trace("Text.strip called....: " + str);
      var whiteSpace = "\r\n\t\f";
      var tempStr = "";
      for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++){
         var c = str.charAt(i);
         if (whiteSpace.indexOf(c) == -1) {
            tempStr += c;
         }
      }
      return tempStr;
   }
   
}

Users are copying and pasting from a command line program and we are getting
some special characters that are coming through.
