SIMPOL Documentation

This function calls isspace() or else compares with the contents of sCharlist for each character from the left of the string until it reaches a character that is not considered to be a space (space and tab) and then returns the remaining string. The return value is a string with all leading spaces and tab characters removed up until the first character that is not one of those two. If the optional sCharlist parameter is passed, then the characters that comprise the sCharlist will be used instead of the isspace() function to decide whether a character should be trimmed.
