How to identify non-displaying characters in a text string?
Posted on 2013-02-01
Hello - trying to import some crap data, and I'm getting text values that have trailing non-display characters that Trim() won't... Trim...
is there a function that does the reverse of Chr(), so I can parse through and see what exactly these trailing characters are?
Thanks
