Dear sirs,

Umm... there are women on this list. Not that any of them ever call
me or anything.... ;-)

Believe me, I regretted using that salutation as soon as I saw it in print. I apologize to all.

I wasn't able to duplicate your error, but I have some general
comments:

I am very grateful for the suggestions and am very aware that my 3-4 year old "Trim" handlers could use some dusting off. Just the same, the question really is why did they work for so long then quit working. The problem in my script actually occurs before the TrimTheStringList handler is even called. It appears to occur in the "get every text item" method. It appears to happen only with certain input pages, not with straight input. I can't figure what would account (diagnostically speaking) for that combination of features, unless it is two error conditions or changes occurring at the same time.

To facilitate my moving on, I have decided to accept the suggested alternative "Trim" handlers provided by the people on this list and I am grateful to them. I am left with a gnawing question about what changed all of a sudden and made my script misbehave.

Thanks to all.

John Fowler
