Can't get TRIM$() nor replstr$() to work

[flotul]

Hi,

Either code will give me the expected result I'd like to see: "1,2,3".

Code: Select all

DECString$ = "  1,  2,  3"
DECString$ = TRIM$(DECString$)
print DECString$

result: "  1,  2,  3"

Code: Select all

DECString$ = "  1,  2,  3"
DECString$ = replstr$(DECString$, " ", "")
print DECString$

'include lb45func.bas

result: "  1,  2,  3"

What am I missing/doing wrong please?

My bad,

Using TRIM$(), the result is "1, 2, 3" (not " 1, 2, 3") wich is correct.

Still, replstr$() doesn't accept to replace a character by "nothing".

What is the best way to remove any space in a full string then?

It seems to work for me. I tried this program:

Code: Select all

print chr$(34); replstr$("Hello world!", "o", ""); chr$(34)
'include lb45func.bas

And it produced the output "Hell wrld!" which is correct, isn't it?

Again it seems to work for me:

Code: Select all

print chr$(34); replstr$("Hello world!", " ", ""); chr$(34)
'include lb45func.bas

which produced "Helloworld!". I can't understand why it is seemingly working for me but not for you. What happens if you try the exact examples listed above?

Hi,

Yes, this works!

Code: Select all

print chr$(34); replstr$("Hello world!", "o", ""); chr$(34)
'include lb45func.bas

But why won't this one do too?

Code: Select all

print chr$(34); replstr$("  1  2  3", " ", ""); chr$(34)
'include lb45func.bas

At least, it doesn't for me....

...just learned about the remchar$() that will do the job for me.

Didn't think about this one - never used before...
