REMLEFT()
Removes particular characters from the beginning of a string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
REMLEFT(<cString>,[<cCharacter|nCharacter>])
--> cString
Arguments
<cString> Designates the string that is processed.
<cCharacter|nCharacter> Designates the character that is removed
from the beginning of the <cString>. The default value is a space,
CHR(32).
Returns
REMLEFT() returns the modified <cString>.
Description
REMLEFT() functions exactly like CA-Clipper's LTRIM(), with one
exception. While the CA-Clipper function can only remove spaces,
REMLEFT() can remove any character you choose. The character that is
removed can be specified with the <cCharacter|nCharacter> parameter.
Note
. When the <cCharacter|nCharacter> parameter is not specified,
spaces are removed.
Examples
. Remove the spaces:
? REMLEFT(" 123 ") // "123 "
. Remove the character ".":
? REMLEFT("..123..", ".") // "123.."
