interpreted = N
texte = It'd be nice if WC would automatically strip any leading or ending spaces from any field, or have a context for this.The reason is that a field with a number in it will not work within a math context if there are any leading or ending spaces.Most db's I've worked with have a bunch of useless spaces, and I cna't think of a reason for keeping any at the beginning or end of a data field.
