[Gambas-user] trimming extra spaces from within a string.

[Bruce Steers]

No my friend that will not work..
This does...
*While InStr(strinput,"  ")*

*strinput = Replace(strinput, "  ", " ")*

*Next*
*strinput = Trim(strinput)*

I already tried that :) it worked okay.
I found various ways, the initial function i posted seemed to me to be the
"gambas" way of doing it.
Although if it was Benoíts code he'd probably use String.Mid$() and not a
boxed string like i did :)

I was just curious to know if i wasn't missing a function in gambas that
already existed to do it :)

Cheers :)
