Hi,

Is there a way to eliminate additional spaces in text variables?

example:

EDIT: The forum already eliminate the spaces. Imagine that “\_” is space on the following sentences:

text = “\_\_\__ **KirupaForum\_\_\_\_\_\_is\_the\_\_best\_\_\_\_Flash\_tutorial\_\_\_\_site\_of\_the\_\_\_World** _”

Eliminating spaces…

text = “KirupaForum\_is\_the\_best\_Flash\_tutorial\_site\_of\_the\_World”

thanks
