| Your script is tied for the lead in speed at 19 seconds.
This fixes if the whole line is spaces:
on MSTrimSpacesFromStartOfLine(myText) if length of myText > 1 then repeat -- display dialog myText if character 1 of myText is " " then if the length of myText > 1 then set myText to text 2 through end of myText else set myText to "" return myText end if else return myText exit repeat end if end repeat end if end MSTrimSpacesFromStartOfLine

Hi. I've got a little not so elegant script to trim spaces from the beginning of a line. It handles if the whole line is full of spaces, but I was wondering if anyone out there has anything faster and is willing to share.
set source to " 1234 r" set trimmed to TrimSpacesFromStartOfLine(source)
on TrimSpacesFromStartOfLine(myText) if length of myText > 1 then repeat display dialog myText if character 1 of myText is " " then set myText to text 2 through end of myText else return myText exit repeat end if end repeat end if end TrimSpacesFromStartOfLine trimmed
