IsStringPadded Function

Overview

The IsStringPadded function tests if a string contains white space before or after the text of the string.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

boolean = IsStringPadded ( string value );

Parameters

value

A string to test.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if value contains padding before or after the text of the string or FALSE if it does not.

Remarks

Padding is considered word spaces: space (0x20), tab (0x09), newline (0x0A) and return (0x0D) characters. Tab fill characters (backspace 0x08) are also considered padding. Space within the string is not counted as padding.

The function does not check for content other than spaces. Therefore spaces alone count as “padding” even though there technically is nothing padded.

This function has native UNICODE support.
