Syntax

$trimContent[text]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
text	Optional. The text to clean. If omitted ($trimContent), the incoming message is cleaned instead.

More than one argument is refused (“Invalid argument count”).

Return Value

• Type: String
• With text: the text without leading or trailing whitespace, and with each run of spaces or tabs replaced by a single space.
• Without argument: an empty string (the function only cleans the message).

Behavior

• With text: runs of two or more spaces or tabs become one space, then leading and trailing whitespace is removed. Line breaks are kept (only the edges of the whole text are trimmed).
• Without argument ($trimContent): the content of the incoming message is cleaned the same way. $message (and $noMentionMessage) written afterwards return the cleaned content; those evaluated before see the original text. The words given by $message[n] and $argCount do not change, since they already ignore repeated spaces.
• It differs from $trimSpace[], which only trims the edges and leaves the spaces between words.

Examples

Simple cleaning

$sendMessage[Result: "$trimContent[   Hello     World   ]"]
; Displays: Result: "Hello World"

Cleaning user input

$var[input;$trimContent[$message[2]]]
$sendMessage[Cleaned argument: "$var[input]"]

Clean the incoming message first

$trimContent
$message

With !cmd one two, $message gives one two.

Comparison without extra spaces

$if[$trimContent[$message[1]]==admin]
  $sendMessage[Mode admin enabled.]
$endif

Cleaning after extraction

$var[extracted;$cropText[$message;10;]]
$var[clean;$trimContent[$var[extracted]]]
$sendMessage[$var[clean]]

Notes

• To remove all spaces (including internal ones), use $replaceText[text; ;] with an empty replacement.
• $disableInnerSpaceRemoval is accepted but does nothing in this engine; it does not preserve spaces.
