/************************************************************
trims both trailing and leading spaces, and returns string
*/
function trim(sString:String):String
{
return(lTrim(rTrim(sString)));
}//trim
/************************************************************
trims trailing spaces, and returns string
*/
function rTrim(sString:String):String
{
while(''+sString.charAt(sString.length-1)==' ')
{
sString=sString.substring(0,sString.length-1);
}
return(sString);
}//rTrim
/************************************************************
trims leading spaces, and returns string
*/
function lTrim(sString:String):String
{
while(''+sString.charAt(0)==' ')

Subject: [flexcoders] string trim
Hi,
How do I trim a string in the actionscript?
when I do this
if( combo.dataProvider[i].data == item[ getDataLabel() ] )
sometimes
item[ getDataLabel() ] returns a string with extra spaces and it
fails the condition
Regards
Rajesh J
