Please don't cross post the same question to multiple lists/news groups.
One method that nobody mentioned in any of the replies to your question is
extracting the words from the string rather than deleting the spaces:
on killSpaces inStr
wordCount = inStr.word.count
outStr = ""
repeat with i = 1 to wordCount
outStr = outStr &inStr.word[i]
end repeat
return outStr
end
-- Welcome to Director --
put killSpaces("remove all of the spaces ")
-- "removeallofthespaces"
This should be faster than looping through characters, but I haven't
compared it to the 'offset' suggestion.
