I think we are agreeing violently, James! I guess I kind of assume the %trim[r] implicitly.

Nothing wrong with EVALR that I can see - it's use, though - FOO is a

you are trying to right-justify a 50-char value into a 50-char
variable - and that is what you get.

That was exactly my point in constructing the example: if you don't trim
off any trailing blanks, then EVALR is not going to quad it all the way
to the right.
