Empty string if <String to check> corresponds to an empty string ("").

<String to check>: Character string (with quotes)

Character string to check.

Remarks

Spaces

Caution: The leading and trailing spaces in <String to check> are removed (identical to NoSpace).

UncompleteDir and UNICODE

If the string passed as a parameter is an ANSI string, the result will be an ANSI string.

If the string passed as a parameter is a UNICODE string, the result will be a UNICODE string.

Remark: If the result of UncompleteDir on an ANSI string is assigned to a UNICODE string (and vice versa), the conversion will be implicitly performed.

For more details, see Managing UNICODE.
