Ouch is right. 🙂 I got the fact that the LEN ignores the last space, but mistakenly thought that it trims the resulting string. But now I see that it doesn't. It returns the exact remaining string, even if the last character in the trimmed string is itself a space.

Nice question. Tricky in a way but not simply "gotcha" trivia. It's the kind of trickiness one needs to know when dealing with strings that have spaces.
