Tips, Tricks, Gotchas & Best Practices:
- You can remove the first and last non-blank characters of a character string value that has matching quotation marks. this command does not consider quotation marks matching if one of them is a single quotation mark and another is a double quotation mark.
- As a best practice, it is always advisable to define the variable names without any spaces and if you want to differentiate the words, use underscores.
