Default LEFT(D2,3) but no spaces

Hi,

I am using the formula below in (E2)

=LOWER(LEFT(D2,3)&TRIM(CLEAN(SUBSTITUTE(F2," ",""))))&RIGHT(D2,2)

The problem I am having is... If one of the first 3 characters in D2
is a space, I don't want it. I need the formula to just ignore a
space if it is there. It can either drop the space and get the first
2 characters, or ignore the space and pick up the first 3 characters
that are not spaces.

Please, does anyone have a solution?
