Re: One function to Trim and Edit a number.

That'd work too but I often throw these into a log file as well.

And, to be honest, I've seen message files so overdone at my previous
employers, I grown an aversion to them.

I mean, I wrote a program to track their useage and found that 
over 1/2 of them, and there were 1000+ of them, were used in only
1 or 2 places.
