Sometimes inexperienced Rev programmers have to ask questions that
make them want to crawl under the table in shame because probably the
answer is idiotically simple. Here is such a question.
If I have a string, say:-
" The cat sat under the mat "
- and I want to trim off the leading and following blanks to give:-
"The cat sat on the mat"
put word 1 to -1 of myVar into mySecondVar
Trimming only one end is slightly harder - in fact, the best way I can
think of is surprisingly complex
put char 1 to -2 of (word 1 to -1 of (t & "=")) -- could have been
any non-space character
put char 2 to -1 of (word 1 to -1 of ("=" & t)) -- could have been
any non-space character
Hopefully someone else will come up with an easier way, and I will slap
my head in annoyance :-)
