Miranda might also want to use the -trim()- function if the strings she is
processing are contaminated with unwanted blanks...

Betreff: st: help with encode
How can I efficiently convert string variables (such as gender with
values 'f' 'm') into binary 0/1 variables?
Can I fiddle with encode so that it codes 0/1 instead of 1/2?
Many thanks
