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

[Bruce Steers]

oops i take that back sorry.
I'm such an idiot sometimes.
the While / Wend method i was testing was working on the string that had
already been trimmed using Benoits method :-\
so it was showing as faster , Doh!

So on further testing i'm finding the Repeat/Until method is the
forerunner  :)
and i probably need more sleep ;)
