f$edit ( src_str,"TRIM")
removes LEADING and trailing spaces.
I see nothing in the lexical doc for removing trailing only??
Any suggestions?
Thanks

attach a leading nonblank char (say a '*'), trim the string
and then remove the '*'? Not pretty, but not difficult...

How about
$ str = " some leading and trailing spaces "
$ write sys$output f$edit ("x"+str,"trim")-"x"
Kind of silly but it works. For those of you that don't understand
gobbldigook yet, this means, put a letter "x" at the beginning, then
trim leading and trailing spaces, of which there will are only trailing,
then take off the protective "x".

Thanks, definitely not the prettiest, brute force never is.
But it will do the trick.
