Rtrim And Ltrim?
Oct 5, 2004I have some data that contains spaces both before and after the text string, and now I'm wondering what would be the best method to remove these blanks (sometimes there are no blanks, so I can't check with a specifik width)?
Is it possible to do something like:
set foo = ltrim(rtrim(foo))
or do I have to split it into 2 steps?
This trimming will be done in update & insert statements

LTRIM In Grouping
Jun 13, 2007Hello All,
I am trying to ltrim a portion of multiple fields in a grouping. I am able to do it for one of them, but unfortunately there are several I have to do it for. If I use the following expression, it works for that one.
Code Snippet
=iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Inquiry Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Inquiry Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)
However, if I try and do it for more than one it errors out. For example...
Code Snippet
=iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Inquiry Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Inquiry Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)
OR iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="Search Menu - Bank 083",LTRIM("Search Menu"),Fields!TestName.Value)
OR iif(Fields!BankNumber.Value="083" and Fields!TestName.Value="SEAX - Bank 083",LTRIM("SEAX"),Fields!TestName.Value)
Is there another way to arrange this so I can LTRIM each field group seperately?
Thanks,
Clint

Apr 11, 2007I am trying to follow an SSIS tutorial. It is doing a transformation on mainframe data.
It has the statement LTRIM(State) == '' in the Condititonal split editor.
The data type is DT_STR.
Nothing works (dbl quote,brackets, ect)
I have also tried to change the type to DT_WSTR. According to docs ltrim only works with Unicode.
Can someone please tell me how to detect an empty string.
Thanks for any help
