    OK, I have a couple of useful functions that can be applied to strings containing patch names for instance.
    —————————————————————————————————————
    The following Function extracts a piece of the string from characters 1 to 16

    function edit (s)
	return (string.sub(s,1,16))
end

nameEdit = (edit(myString))

    —————————————————————————————————————
    The following Function removes whitespace (spaces) from either end of a string

    function trim (s)
	return (string.gsub(s, "^%s*(.-)%s*$", "%1"))
end

nameTrim = (trim(myString))

    —————————————————————————————————————

    Hope these prove useful to others.

    Here is some noise I organised into an acceptable format:
