Some places in LC do this - like looking at the result from a URL "post" command. That's why I use a simple "trim" function in all my apps:
function trim pWhat
return (word 1 to -1 of pWhat)
end trim
(I have a more expanded version if I care about things like hard spaces, but the basic one works for 99% of the cases I run into).
