>trim() will only trim to the right, IIRC. Here you need ltrim() or alltrim(); or simply convert the number with trans(x).

Yes, I ment to use alltrim, but I simply forgot. I also thought about the transform function, but on top of my head I was not sure if it defaulted to trim the result or not, but it sure does. So your solution is the simplest in this case.
