Hey team,
I have a scenario in which I have a simple list form with various fields like firstname,lastname etc. Now I want to just remove spaces from the start and end of the FirstName and LastName. Eg: The name of an employee is Amaia Scott Delany. So, the FirstName is "Amaia" and Last Name is "Scott Delany" if the user is entering the FirstName as " Amaia " and Last Name as " Scott Delany". In this case I just want to trim the spaces from the start and and the end so it should save it in this way, FirstName: "Amaia" and LastName: "Scott Delany". The space between "Scott" and "Delany" should be maintained. Please can you help me achieve this using x++.
Hi SKD,
Are all of your names delimited by the first space between the firstname and lastname？
Please check the strScan method:docs.microsoft.com/.../xpp-string-run-time-functions
It will return the first occurrence of the text string mentioned in the parameters.
You can use strLTrim and strRTrim functions: docs.microsoft.com/.../xpp-string-run-time-functions
Or StrLRTrim from the Global class
