Hello,

I can't for the life of me figure this out.

I'm basically trying to do the following:

I'm looping through a directory and gathering the file names for all files and placing them into a variable.

(See attached Code)

Basically, this code works. I'm able to get all the files names, however it's adding a space at the end.

I'm trying to compare the files names from the variable with another list/variable. It never matches, because of the space.

How can I remove spaces from a variable? Perhaps, you all might have a better way to perform what I'm trying to do.

I appreciate the help.

Hi Jason,

You are creating the blank line by setting the variable to itself with a blank value. Try the attached code below:
