Efficient TRIM?

I need to trim an unwanted space character from the end of a payload string (and have a similar need to trim the front).
I've got something bloaty that works:
Code: Select allif asc(right(payload,1)) < 33 then payload = left(payload,len(payload) - 1) 'trim space or control character from right end
...but it weighs a ton and takes an age, so can someone suggest anything better please?

I am uploading a new build now that includes a trim function.
Code: Select allbla = " hello world "
print trim(bla)

Umm, while that TRIM is still fresh in mind, what's the chances of a similar SNIP clone which snips off a specified number of characters from the head or tail of the specified variable, eg: SNIP(payload,num) where pos and neg numbers snipped from different ends?
I'll understand you swearing at me under your breath, but you'd probably swear a lot more if I waited till your mind was elsewhere before suggesting it as a feature request!
