Hi Maurizio,
I'm probably being too simplistic but doesn't this do the job:
gen str8 newvar=subinstr(oldvar," ","",.)
if oldvar is your current postcode variable and newvar is a new one.
Cheers,
Emma

Hi
I am trying to trim all the spaces in a code, in particular an english
unit postcode
but I still haven't found the correct way. I downloaded the ptseed
strip function but seems is not working.
Can anyone please help me? The database I am working on is quite
huge...
Thank you..
maurizio gibin
