Trimming spaces

Ok, before I reinvent the wheel, has someone written some code to trim spaces on both sides of a string?

' xyz abc ' -> 'xyz abc'

Thanks,
Thierry

Name "Output"

OutFile "Output.exe"



!include "WordFunc.nsh"

!insertmacro WordReplace



Section

	${WordReplace} " xyz abc " " " "" "{}" $R0

	# $R0="xyz abc"



	MessageBox MB_OK '$$0={$0}'

SectionEnd

Or, use this function. It will trim all leading and trailing whitespaces (including tabs, CR and LF).
Usage:



Push ' xyz abc '

Call Trim

Pop $0 ;$0 now contains the trimmed string.
