EMPTY

This is the best way to check if a value is empty.

It will automatically strip any spaces, tabs, carriage returns etc. from the string before it checks if it is empty.

This command will always return TRUE or FALSE.

Number	Name	Default	Type	Description
1	value		String	Value to be checked
2	zero		Boolean	Include zero and false values as empty
