Re: Space and Tab - in flat file

[Jamie Harris <JHarris@FREDERICK.EDU>]

Try this:

let $tab = chr(09)
let $whatever = ltrim($whatever, $tab)

It should work, but I didn't try it.

 Hi all, I am trying to read a file which has leading tabs and spaces.
Using ltrim function I amable to l-trim spaces, not tabs. How to Ltrim
tabs?..I can write a code to do the same, but like to know if SQR
function can do that.. Thanks,Parthiban Subbiah
