THANK YOU!!!!

The attached is straightforward way to get rid of all spaces in a string.....Don

[altenbach]

Using "delete from array" in a loop could get expensive with large inputs because the array in the shift register requires a new allocation in memory for each space found. I would not recommend that. Try to find an "in-place" solution. 🙂

Alternatively, just do the following... 😮

I actually tried this earlier but I tried to use a string constant with a space in it as the string to replace instead of using the space constant.

Now I now (or know again) about the space constant.

Indeed this is a better solution.

Thanks,

Don

That should work equally well, though. 🙂

Actually you are right, I think I used the string constant without putting a space in it!

Yes, that's probably one of the more confusing behaviors: An empty string constant gets shorter (horizontally) when you type a "space" in it using a proportional font. 😉

I would typically set the display to \-codes to make it more readable.

Had I set to 'codes display', I would have discovered my mistake so that is always a good check when dealing with delimiters and such.
