Remarks
Use TRIM on text that you have received from another application that may have irregular spacing.
The TRIM function was originally designed to trim the 7-bit ASCII space character (value 32) from text. In the Unicode character set, there is an additional space character called the nonbreaking space character that has a decimal value of 160. This character is commonly used in Web pages as the HTML entity, . By itself, the TRIM function does not remove this nonbreaking space character.
Examples
-- TRIM removes trailing and starting spaces from a string,
-- including multiple spaces within the string.
