Sorry for what I'm sure is a simple question.
Why does
{"a", "b", "c"} as string
yield "a b c" instead of "abc" ? Can it be made to omit the extra spaces?
I'd like to truncate a string using this statement
copy ((characters 1 thru ((number of characters in nn) - 1)) of nn) as
string to nn
but this behaviour prevents it from working.
