Help with the trimleft/trimright function

Submitted by 3dwannab on Fri, 2013-09-13 15:43

 

I've taken my favourite script and tried to learn from it. It's probably is a bit complicated for a beginner but I really wanted to add a function to trim any leading and trailing whitespace characters and also add an option for Title case and Sentence case. I read the manual and all I can see is:

 ToLower + ToUpper

Is there another way to achieve Title case and Sentence case?

Any code that I've modified has --------------#### 3dwannab code ###-------------- beside it.

The area that needs attention is:

--------------#### 3dwannab code ###--------------

( if trailing_leading = false then

for i in selection do i.name = trimleft trailing_leading

--------------#### 3dwannab code ###--------------

 

I'm completely suck at the minute and I wanted to chat with someone on here to help me figure out what I need to do. I've managed to get the presets working as they should. It's just the function that needs a look at.

Thanks

Not have time to look over the whole code.
Post me a snippet to see what is the problem.
Like this

let say i have en string *str*

--example#1 trimLeft | trimeRight fn
str = "--------------####  3dwannab code  ###--------------"
--to remove symbols you can use
str = trimLeft (trimRight str "  ###--------------") "--------------####  "
-->result: "3dwannab code"
 
 
--example#2 replace fn
str = "--------------####  3dwannab code  ###--------------"
--define simbols that you want to remove
toDel = "-+*/|#$"
for i = str.count to 1 by -1 where (findstring toDel str[i]) != undefined do str=(replace str i 1 "") ; str
--> result:"  3dwannab code  "
