LRIM/RTRIM/TRIM built in functions

It would be handy to have a 

LTRIM
RTRIM
TRIM

functions built in to ZXB

I know you could right one but I wonder if there is a faster way to be compiled?

thanks

Good idea. I will include them in the next release.
Indeed there is a duplicated str library, and one of them will be removed.
I'll keep you updated with this.

Ok, I've implemented ltrim(s, subs), rtrim(s, subs) and trim(s, sub) which trim the string subs in the respective side of s.
They're in #include <string.bas> in this new version:

Please, try it and tell me  

An example:

Code:

#include <string.bas>

print "'"; ltrim("", "a"); "'"
print "'"; ltrim("hello world", ""); "'"
print "'"; ltrim("hello world", "he"); "'"
print "'"; ltrim("hehello world", "he"); "'"
print "'"; ltrim("hehehe", "he"); "'"
