Trim (the global function) is here for compatibility with Visual Basic. You should instead use String.Trim.

result=Trim(sourceString)
OR'
result=stringVariable.Trim

Part	Type	Description
result	String	SourceString with leading and trailing whitespaces removed.
sourceString	String	The source, a copy of which, to be returned with leading and trailing whitespaces removed.

Notes

Trim uses the list of unicode "whitespace" characters at http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/PropList.txt.

This example removes the whitespaces from either side of the string passed:

Var s As String
s = Trim(" Hello World ") // Returns "Hello World"
