TrimString

TrimString (str [, simplifyInternalSpaces])​

The TrimString function returns a string identical to str except that leading and trailing whitespace characters are removed. The whitespace characters are space, tab, carriage-return and linefeed.

If the optional second parameter is non-zero, then each run of whitespace characters between words in str is "simplified" to a single space character.

The TrimString function was added in Igor Pro 7.00.

Examples​

Print TrimString(" spaces at ends ") // Prints "spaces at ends"
Print TrimString(" spaces at ends ", 1) // Prints "spaces at ends"
