I have a input field called NAME and this field can be up to 30 characters. I want to get rid of preceding blanks and post blanks. If the name BROTHERS is entered I only want 'BROTHERS' not 'BROTHERS '
Then I want to scan a field name in a field CMNAME for 'BROTHERS' in a value that could be 'JONES BROTHERS '
