Checking for text in a field

Heyas,

Is their a function that checks if a field has text in it - I have some fields that have jut spaces - different amount eact time - and I want to filter these fields out..

Eg I have three different mailing address fields - if mail address 2 has only got spaces - I dont want to view that field...

Any suggestions?

Look at the Trim function.
Code:
If (Trim (mail address 2) = "", "", mail address 2)
