Hello....
 
  I have a question that I've been "fighting" for quite some time.
I am trying to extract a pathname from a *.DAT file. This pathname is just
called out as a directory (ie C:\BBS), but in the dat file, it is declared as
a "STRING * 81". How can I "strip" the spaces from the right? I have tried
RTRIM$ (among others) with no luck at all. What I need to be able to do is
to use the directory name & "tack on" a filename.
 
Thanks in advance...
-Ron
