RE: Trimming in CL

When you say "trim out the blanks" do you mean:
1) Remove leading blanks
2) Remove trailing blanks
3) Remove all blanks
4) something else?

For example, what do you want these strings to look like?
"12345"
"     "
"1    "
"    5"
"  3  "
" 2 4 "

As a general rule I would not use CL for complex string handling unless
coerced.
