Additional Notes

• Seems to not do what it should do.

Here is a quick fix:

string.TrimLeft = function(str, ...)
	str = string.reverse(str)
	str = string.TrimRight(str, ...)
	str = string.reverse(str)
	return str
end

• If char is specified, the string gets that character trimmed off instead of a space.
