I got these:
to strip leading spaces
function trimL aString
return char offset(word 1 of aString, aString) to -1 of aString
end trimL
to strip trailing spaces
function trimR aString
return char 1 to length(word 1 to -1 of aString) + (offset(word
1 of aString, aString) - 1) of aString
end trimR
surprisingly ugly for transcript....
