LTRIM()


Syntax:     LTRIM(<expC>)

Purpose:    To remove leading blanks from the specified character
            string.

Argument:   <expC> is the character string to return with leading
            spaces removed.

Returns:    A character string.

            If the argument is a null string (""), LTRIM() returns a
            null also.

Usage:      LTRIM() is useful for text formatting of character strings
            that have leading spaces.  These can be, for example,
            numbers converted to character strings using STR().


Library:    CLIPPER.LIB

   ? LTRIM(STR(number))          && Result: 18
   ? LEN(LTRIM(STR(number)))     && Result: 2
