Returns a string with no leading space characters.

Syntax

LTRIM(<expC>)

<expC>

The string from which you want to remove the leading space characters.

Description

LTRIM( ) returns <expC> with no leading space characters.

To remove trailing space characters from a string or memo field, use RTRIM( ) or TRIM( ).

Other than the syntactic difference of being a method instead of a function, the leftTrim( ) method behaves identically to the LTRIM( ) function.
