trim_ext

[former_member203645]

Hi all,

Can some explain us about the "trim_ext" function with an example?

I see "trim_ext( [in] ToTrim As varchar(255) ) As varchar(255)" in the description but not quite understandable.

Trim_ext does not exist in DS. Are you referring to ltrim_blanks_ext and rtrim_blanks_ext? These functions remove blanks and control characters respectively from the left and the right side of the character string passed as parameter.

Thanks for the reply.

This what I found in the function screen. DS version is 14.2.4.668

A custom function?

[former_member203645]

Yes true

That means you can check its definition from the Custom Fuctions tab in the Local Object Library.

Thanks Venken

That's what my question is " the description is not quite understandable to me " so I am looking for an example.

How do you expect us to give you an example of a custom function of yours?

Navigate to the the Custom Fuctions tab in the Local Object Library. Right-click the fuction name and select Edit. Post the function definition, somebody might be able to help.
