[Gretl-users] String Operations: Removing Blank Spaces

Dear Gretl Community, I would like to know how can I remove the spaces before a specific character in a string. Please take a look at my example: <hansl> string s1a = " @Gretl is great!" string s2a = " @Gretl is really great!" string s1b = strsub(s1a, " @", "") string s2b = strsub(s2a, " @", "") print s1b print s2b </hansl> I need to remove the blank spaces before the "@" no matter how many blank spaces I have. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance, Henrique Andrade* *
