Does anyone have a Right Trim function?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a function that will only trim spaces on the right side as I have fields where there may be some spaces padding on the left by design.  I'd like to use this function as an auto-enter filter to remove spaces only from the right side of the incoming data.

Here are just 2 ideas that spring to mind:

Let ( [
lastChar = Right ( Trim ( text ) ; 1 ) ;
lastPos = Position ( text ; lastChar ; Length ( text ) ; -1 )
] ;
Left ( text ; lastPos )
)

or:

Let ( 
tmp = Trim ( "a" & text )
;
Replace ( tmp ; 1 ; 1 ; "" )
)

Thank you.   Well I'll be a monkeys uncle.  ( lol ).   Appreciate it.   We use the MBS plugin for a number of processes.  I don't know what we'd do without it.   Thanks for adding these 2 functions.
