I have a solution, but it isn't general. If you use:

number = 3
aux = strtrim(string(number),2)
file = 'saving' + aux + '.dat'

It should solve your problem - by removing the space before it appears
in the filename!

The more general solution requires you to call the strcompress a bit
later, and with the /remove_all keyword.

number = 3
aux = string(number)
file = strcompress('saving' + aux + '.dat', /remove_all)

without /remove_all, strcompress compresses all whitespace to a single
whitespace, it doesn't get rid of it.

HTH,

Ben
