Question

I'd like to get a value through a %INCLUDE{"http://url"}% and make it appear as part of a clickable URL link to track the current version of something maintained on a different server. It almost works, but it looks like there is always a space added after the expansion of the %INCLUDE% even if I specify a pattern="[:alnum:]*". I've tried assigning the value to a variable with Set or Local, and the expansion still includes the trailing space. Is there any way to remove it so it can be used as part of another URL?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

After some more investigation, I see that the space is actually in the content from the backend HTTP server, not added by the %INCLUDE%. That still leaves the questions why the pattern regex doesn't trim it or how to manipulate variable values after they have been assigned.
