TRIM

[Arjen Markus]

Hi Salvatore,

AFAIK, it is supposed to remove blanks - so "space" only. It is not
supposed to remove whitespace (space, tab, newline ...)

That said, it would have been nice if you could have specified a range
of characters to be removed, like "0" or char(9). Something along the
lines of:
write(*,*) trim( string, char(9)//char(10)//char(13) ). I have not
checked the newer standards for this possibility.

Regards,

Arjen
