<iSTRTRIM> Tag

<iSTRTRIM	SRC="stringtotrim"
	TYPE ="<left \| right \| both>"
	>

This trims spaces from the left, right of both ends of a string.

Usage This tag can be used to trim off extra spaces so that iSTRLEN returns consistent values for a string that is effectively the same. In many cases, extra spaces get into strings from users typing them in. To compare strings correctly, it is usually a good idea to trim extra spaces out.
