Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	Code: $test=chr(10)+" some text "+chr(13)+chr(9) '"' trim($test) '"' get $ should produce "some text" but instead procudes garbage. unless me and every other language has a different meaning for what constitutes a space compared to Ruud's.

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	Using the following: Code: Break On @KIX ?? $test=" some text " ? 'Spaces:' ? '"' $test '"' $test=" some text "+chr(9) ? 'Spaces + Tab:' ? '"' $test '"' $test=" some text "+chr(13)+chr(9) ? 'Spaces, Tab, & CR' ? '"' $test '"' $test=chr(10)+" some text "+chr(13)+chr(9) ? 'All Chars:' ? '"' $test '"' it becomes clear that only SPACES are dealt with by Trim(), not "Whitespace". The "garbage" you get is exactly what's expected when you move to a new line, remove spaces, print "some text" (9 characters" followed by a CR, then tab to position 8 - only the last "t" is left. Per the manual, it says "spaces" and not "whitespace". Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	I don't get it there is no trim() in both of your code snippets chr(10) = LF chr(13) = CR chr(9) = a TAB too tired to run that atm Oh, and how about '"' + $test + '"' Edited by Jochen (2015-02-04 06:10 PM) _________________________

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I don't know what I was thinking when I posted that... fixed. imo, LF is a space. but I guess you are right as well, on strict sense it is only chr(32) Edited by Lonkero (2015-02-04 07:03 PM) _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	in historical means a line feed resembles a turn upwards on the round thing (dunno what it is called) on a typewriter .. so practically a vertical whitespace you mean? _________________________

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	something is weird here. I got the same result on my laptop as you. at work where I posted that I got: Code: " "t ok, back to giving you an example that actually has the issue... it seems that kixtart processes tabs, linefeeds and spaces as spaces but not carriage returns, as witnessed by this simple test: Code: $test=" some text "+@crlf '"' trim($test) '"' get $ here the result is exactly the same as with the original example. the weird part comes that in my code that experienced issues, there was CRLF after a space and that space never got removed until I did join(split()) on all special characters. seems that dealing with the chr(13) would have been enough. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
