Remove whitespace characters from the string (Unicode class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 8.0]


The UnicodeUnspace intrinsic function removes the whitespace characters from the Unicode string method object, and it returns the resulting string. Options are available to:

  • Define which character or characters are to be interpreted as whitespace
  • Remove leading whitespace, trailing whitespace, both, or neither
  • Collapse to a single whitespace character any sequences of non-leading, non-trailing whitespace

Syntax

%outUnicode = unicode:UnicodeUnspace[( [Spaces= string], [Leading= boolean], - [Trailing= boolean], - [Compress= boolean])]

Syntax terms

%outUnicodeA Unicode variable to receive the result of the UnicodeUnspace function.
unicode The method object Unicode string.
Spaces Spaces is an optional, name required, parameter that is a Unicode string that specifies the set of characters considered to be whitespace. The default set is the blank space (' ') character.

If you specify multiple Spaces characters, the first character is the replacement space character: a single one of these is substituted for each sequence of one or more non-leading, non-trailing Spaces characters in the method object string.

Leading Leading is an optional, name required, parameter that is a Boolean value that specifies whether to strip all leading whitespace characters. The default is True, strip leading whitespace.
Trailing Trailing is an optional, name required, parameter that is a Boolean value that specifies whether to strip all trailing whitespace characters. The default is True, strip trailing whitespace.
Compress Compress is an optional, name required, parameter that is a Boolean value that specifies whether to collapse each sequence of spaces to a single space. The default is True, collapse such sequences.

Usage notes

  • Duplicate Spaces characters are tolerated and do not affect the result.
