I just tried using llStringTrim in a script this morning. In situations where there was no white space to trim it produced a script error and stopped the script. (I used the STRING_TRIM option.) I ended up just using my old trim routine. Has anybody else tried to use this new function? Does it work for you?

I was going to suggest you tried: llStringTrim(test + " ", STRING_TRIM), but I can't get it to work at all.  string test = " test ";
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llOwnerSay("Testing");
test = llStringTrim(test, STRING_TRIM);
llOwnerSay(test);
}
} Gives me: Object: Testing Object: Script run-time error Object: Bounds Check Error For the time being I'll think of it as the Bounds Check Error function.  |

Wow I hadn't even heard about this function until now.And after testing it myself, it seems to crash with a Bounds Check Error no matter what... with or without spaces before and/or after the string, using STRING_TRIM, STRING_TRIM_HEAD, or STRING_TRIM_TAIL. So I guess I won't be using that particular landmine of a function anytime soon.  |

From: Deanna Trollop Wow I hadn't even heard about this function until now. Neither had I.. A quick google doesn't show it on the old (non-LL) wiki sites. This would be nice to have (if it worked).. Anybody file a bug yet? |

From: Meade Paravane Anybody file a bug yet? Just fired one off. First tried submitting an issue through JIRA, but that interface looks intimidating.  |

Despite being in the compiler I don't think it's been added to the sim yet, it's mentioned as being added in the 1.14.1 release notes. I'll mark it thus.

It is on the wiki

I found it on the LSL wiki. It says that it is a new/added feature. I was happy to see it, but not so happy about the implementation.
It looks like I should have submitted this as a bug. Can someone give a quick pointer as to where/how to do so? Thank you in advance.

If you find something wrong in LSL best to post it to the forums as chances are good, you aren't the first to find it (unless it's some horrible exploit then report it as an exploit).
