# RemovePadChars

Remove any trailing or leading characters in a set from a string

## Declaration

Source position: strutils.pp line 205

`procedure RemovePadChars(`
`var S: AnsiString;`
`const CSet: TSysCharSet`
`);`

## Description

RemovePadChars removes any leading trailing characters from S that appear in the set CSet, i.e. it starts with the last character and works its way to the start of the string, and it stops removing characters as soon as a character not in CSet is encountered. Then the same procedure is repeated starting from the beginning of the string. This is similar in behaviour to Trim which used whitespace as the set.

## Errors

None.
