Removes surrounding substrings or characters on the right side of a string
Syntax
`
Declare Function RTrim Overload ( ByRef str As Const String, [ Any ] ByRef trimset As Const String = " " ) As String
Declare Function RTrim ( ByRef str As Const WString, [ Any ] ByRef trimset As Const WString = WStr(" ") ) As WString
`
Usage
`
result = RTrim[$]( str [, [ Any ] trimset ] )
`
Parameters
`str`
The source string.
`trimset`
The substring to trim.
Return Value
Returns the trimmed string.
Description
This procedure trims surrounding characters from the right (end) of a source string. Substrings matching `trimset` will be trimmed if specified, otherwise spaces (ASCII code 32) are trimmed.
If the `Any` keyword is used, any character matching a character in `trimset` will be trimmed.
All comparisons are case-sensitive.
Example
`
Dim s1 As String = "Article 101 "
Print "'" + RTrim(s1) + "'"
Print "'" + RTrim(s1, " 01") + "'"
Print "'" + RTrim(s1, Any " 10") + "'"
Dim s2 As String = "Test Pattern aaBBaaBaa"
Print "'" + RTrim(s2, "Baa") + "'"
Print "'" + RTrim(s2, Any "Ba") + "'"
`
will produce the output:

    'Article 101'
    'Article 101  '
    'Article'
    'Test Pattern aaB'
    'Test Pattern '
