I don't have a system to test this on, but what if the record were had leading @VMs? As far as I can tell from Jonathan's post, he doesn't care about the position of the blank values, he just wants them removed. Doesn't the "R" mean "only trim from the right"?.

L = 'Leading'
T = 'Trailing'
B = 'Both' leading and trailing
R = 'Redundant' i.e. leading, trailing and any internal sequence of 2 or more is reduced to 1
