Can you attach a sample WB that contains at least one of the cells that you are working with?
Active 7 days ago
Sure
If you upload from A1 to AA1 in the MSHFlexgrid using the code, you will see some cells not trim.
In excel, they are in yellow

All you have in that cell is "wer" with spaces before and after it so Trim should work just fine. What do you see after you trim it?
Active 7 days ago
i still see the spaces in the cell.
I did 2 row, one with spaces in the "WER" and one with no spaces.

One thing you might want to do is to read my article on debugging so that you can determine what's in the array at various points in the code.

Are you saying that you see spaces in line 2? If so where?
Also (and this isn't the problem), you definitely don't need the outside parentheses around Trim. And unless there's code after line 30 where you want to reuse the two arrays, there's no need to Redim them since VB6 will initialize them the next time the code is run.
One thing to try.
Dim ARRAYLINES() As String
Dim ARRAYCELLS() As String

I tried by updating:
Dim ARRAYLINES() As String
Dim ARRAYCELLS() As String
But still same result.
I have also deleted:
'§ clear array
ReDim ARRAYLINES(0)
ReDim ARRAYCELLS(0)
And also updated:
.AddItem Trim(ARRAYLINES(ARRAYLINES
Dim ARRAYLINES() As String
Dim ARRAYCELLS() As String
But still same result.

After a good night of sleep, i decided to do it the easy way. Probably not the best way.
I put the code bellow after uploading the data in my MSHFlexgrid.
Thanks again for your help

Dim lngRow As Long
Dim lngCol As Long
For lngRow = 0 To MSHFlexGrid1.Rows - 1
For lngCol = 0 To MSHFlexGrid1.Cols - 1
MSHFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(lngRow, lngCol) = Trim(MSHFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(lngRow, lngCol))
Next
