Rtrim Function

Returns a FixStr (String) containing a copy of a specified string without trailing spaces.

Syntax

RTrim(string)

Remarks

The required string argument is any valid string expression. If string contains Null, Null is returned.

The RTrim$ form returns String values. The RTrim form returns FixStr values.

Example

This example uses the LTrim function to strip leading spaces and the RTrim function to strip trailing spaces from a string variable. It uses the Trim function alone to strip both types of spaces.

Dim MyString, TrimString
MyString = " <-Trim-> "             ' Initialize string.
TrimString = LTrim(MyString)        ' TrimString = "<-Trim-> ".
TrimString = RTrim(MyString)        ' TrimString = " <-Trim->".
TrimString = LTrim(RTrim(MyString)) ' TrimString = "<-Trim->".

' Using the Trim function alone achieves the same result.
TrimString = Trim(MyString)         ' TrimString = "<-Trim->".
