Trim Spaces from Strings in Classic ASP
LTrim() removes leading spaces, RTrim() removes trailing spaces, and Trim() removes both leading and trailing spaces.
Remove leading spaces
Dim my_string
my_string=" Welcome to Plus2net.com"
Response.Write "Before removing space =|" & my_string & "|"
my_string=LTrim(my_string)
Response.Write "<br>After removing space =|" & my_string & "|"Output
Before removing space =| Welcome to Plus2net.com|
After removing space =|Welcome to Plus2net.com|The vertical bars make the leading space visible in the output.
Remove trailing spaces
my_string=RTrim(my_string)Remove spaces from both ends
my_string=Trim(my_string)These functions remove space characters at the edges of the string; they do not remove or collapse spaces in the middle. If the argument is
Null, the result is Null.ASP Home
