Syntax

RightTrim ( string {, removeallspaces } )

Argument

Description

string

The string you want returned with trailing blanks deleted

removeallspaces

A boolean indicating that all types of spaces should be deleted


Return value

If you do not include the optional removeallspaces argument or its value is false, only the space character (U+0020) is removed from the string.

If the removeallspaces argument is set to true, all types of space characters are removed. See LeftTrim for a list of space characters.
