The Trim function only takes one parameter, the string itself

DIM str
str = " my text "
str = Trim(str)

All trim does is remove the spaces from the front & the back of the
string.

If you need to remove other characters then you need to use the
replace function

str = Replace(str, vbcr, "")

This will remove all the "return sign" from the string.

I often use this:

str = Replace (str, vbcrlf, "<br>")

to convert all the returns & line feed characters into a html Break
"<br>" This is used for like a forum system when a user enters text in
a textbox but you then want to display that text on the HTML page like
in a forum.

HTH.

I am trying to use Jack's FormMail script (http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/formmail). Since I'm brand new at PHP and not very good at HTML, I have an easy question, which I will narrow down. When the email arrives, it has this information: v_firstname: asdf v_lastname: asdf b_email: asdf@bellsouth.net v_phone: asdf v_cellphone: asdf

Hi, what is the difference between the trim function and the trim String-member? As far as I see it, both return the trimmed string and leave the original string unaltered. Is any of the two faster? Is there a general rule/opinion to prefere members over functions? Thanks for any hint.
