vbscript - Trim leading spaces including tabs

Question

I need to read files using vbscript and remove all leading spaces including any tabs. I now LTRIM will remove the leading spaces but how do I remove tabs also.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This function removes all leading whitespace (spaces, tabs etc) from a string:

Function LTrimEx(str)
  Dim re
  Set re = New RegExp
  re.Pattern = "^s*"
  re.Multiline = False
  LTrimEx = re.Replace(str, "")
End Function
