    Thanks, for you time answering my question.

    After creating a csv file, importing it into a Excel spreadsheet and finally importing it into a SQL table I notices white space both left and right of the text. My goal was to edit this white space out.

    Part of my reason starting this project was to learn SQL.

    Why not import the CSV file directly instead of going through Excel?

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
