How can I -itrim- a long local string without getting the string
abbreviated because of its length? The example below doesn't work. Is
there an easy one line solution like a macro extended function such as
-:subinstr local- to get the -itrim-ed version of a long local string?
Any help is appreciated.
. local text = itrim(" qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ")
. display "`text'" "..."
qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt...
