>This is in a loop. I'm trying to indent with TABs according to the number of LoopLevel. What happens though is as it loops through, more tabs are added to the beginning than I want. In fact, I would like to strip out any tabs in the beginning when the looping is completed. It could be none, or it could be 20. Is there a way to do that? I only include this code because the actual loop contains a lot more code than is needed here.

You can use LTRIM().

ccTAB = CHR(9)
lcStr = ccTAB + ccTAB + "text"
? lcStr
? LTRIM(lcStr, ccTAB)
