LTrim


Definition: Returns a copy of a string without leading spaces.

 

In VBScript the LTrimfunction is used to remove any blank spaces that appear at the beginningof a string; in Windows PowerShell, you can carry out this same task by using the TrimStart ()method. For example, these two commands assign a string value to the variable $a, then use the TrimStart () method to remove the blank spaces from the beginning of the string (note that, for illustration purposes, we’ve used dots to represent blank spaces):

 

$a ="..........123456789.........."
$a = $ a.TrimStart ()

 

When you run this command and then echo back the value of $ a youshould get the following:

 

123456789..........
