String being trimmed when I don't want it to?

Due to a 'typo,' an item's name was set as 'Gold Platemail '
Notice the extra space at the end.
The string holding the number of Gold Platemail I have is set as 'Gold Platemail =3' in attributes. Notice the space again.

When the system goes to load the archetype of 'Gold Platemail,' it trims out the space even though I didn't tell it to. This causes a bug. The systems look for the stats of 'Gold Platemail ' but they're saved as 'Gold Platemail' so it doesn't find them.

I tried to make an NPC convert all 'Gold Platemail ' strings to 'Gold Platemail' but the NPC automatically trims the space off the end..

Any ideas?

What script operation is trimming the string?

Why don't you just rename the archetype? If it has an error in it's name like that it should be renamed anyway x_x

That's the problem.
It automatically trims the space, so even if I rename the archetype to have a space it will be trimmed.

PHP Code:


		
			
  if (clientr.(@"item-Gold Platemail ").size() >= 1) {

    clientr.(@"item-Gold Platemail") = {clientr.(@"item-Gold Platemail")[0] + clientr.(@"item-Gold Platemail ")[0],"armor/chest/goldplatemail"};

    clientr.(@"item-Gold Platemail ") = "";

  }

I still don't understand where exactly your problem is, I would need to know when it is trimming your strings and when it is not.

To anyone still interested:
Stefan found out that you can find if the player has an instance of the string with the space (Gold Platemail ) by using getstringkeys("clientr.item-Gold Platemail").

After that, I figured out you can do something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.gpmstring = "clientr.item-Gold Platemail ";

clientr.("item-Gold Platemail") = {makevar(temp.gpmstring)[0],"armor/chest/goldplatemail"};
