LTrim()
Remove any leading spaces from a character string.
Syntax
LTrim(<cString>) --> cTrimString
Arguments
<cString> --> is the character string to process.
Returns
LTrim() returns a copy of <cString> with the leading spaces removed. If <cString> is a null string ("") or all spaces, LTrim() returns a null/empty string ("").
Description
LTrim() is a character function that formats character strings with leading spaces. These can be, for example, numbers converted to character strings using Str().
LTrim() is related to RTrim() which removes trailing spaces, and Alltrim() which removes both leading and trailing spaces.
Examples
LTrim(' John Smith')
* Result = 'John Smith'
LTrim(STR(100))
* Result = '100'
