how to write strings into a file without leading blank

[Peter Hinow]

Dear fellows,
how can I write strings into a file without leading blank? With 
write(unit,'xxxxx')
I obtain
 xxxxx
but I want
xxxxx
It does not seem to be an issue of the string (I tried stripblanks, but that does not change the result).
Thank you for all help.
Cheers,
     Peter
