/*
Remove any leading spaces from a string
*/

string s = "    leading  spaces Example String"
int pos
for (pos = 0 ; pos < length(s) ; pos++) 
{
    if( s[pos] != ' ')  //if (! isspace(s[pos])) 
    {
        break
    }
}
print s[pos:]

You could also make use of a function –

string removeSpaces(string s)
{
	int pos = 0
	
	while(isspace(s[pos]))
	{
		pos++
		if(pos > length(s)) return ""
	}
	return s[pos:]
}

print removeSpaces("    leading  spaces")
