Does SenseTalk happen to have any built-in function to remove leading and trailing spaces in a string? If not, i guess i will have to write my own then
Itโs not as neat as a โtrimโ command, but you can say:
put words first to last of myString into myString
This range describes everything between the beginning of the first word (the first non-whitespace character) and the end of the last word, including any whitespace that falls in that range. You could always turn this into a trim script. You can cut and paste the example below to get a better feel for how this works:
put " this is some text with extra white space " into myString
put myString
put words first to last of myString into myString
put myString & "<-- extra spaces removed"
I hope this will work for your purposes.
