Richard-
great! Your reply covers me completely. In fact I have F95 compilers (Compaq's
on both VMS and PC/WinNT).
To summarize...
Objective: enhance LEN_TRIM and TRIM to handle as blanks not only spaces but
also tab characters.
Tricky point: Of all the character manipulation functions, TRIM(s) is the only
one that returns a string with length only known at run-time.
i.e. 0 <= LEN(TRIM(s)) <= LEN(s) and depends on s!
but (for example) LEN(ADJUSTL(s)) = LEN(s)
Implementation: Fortran95 code follows at end of email.
Thank you again,
Petros
