I am trying to trim spaces from a segment

example |123456 ^test, doctor|

needs to be

|123456^test, doctor|

I am using

set var1 $xlateInVals

set xlateOutVals “[string trimright $var1]”

what am I doing wrong I cannot get this to work at all.

  The problem is you have two subfields in your data and are trying to trim only the first one. Try this:
  
  lassign $xlateInVals fld1 fld2
  
  set xlateOutVals
  [string trim $fld2]]
