Should be very useful if these functions allow an optional parameter to tell what char to trim (not only spaces).
Result$ = Trim(String$ [, Character$])
Result$ = LTrim(String$ [, Character$])
Result$ = RTrim(String$ [, Character$])

Yes, and take that idea one step further, please: let this extra parameter be of type array[], so that it can contain characters (plural) to trim. Also, in this case one could imagine predefined arrays, for instance one that contains all whitespace chars, one that contains all ASCII control sequences, one that..... etc.

Thats a good idea...except that you can't pass arrays

Sure you can. You just pass the array pointer, nothing to it.

And a string is an array of characters.
Code: Select all
Result$ = Trim(String$ [, "The characters I want to remove"])
