How to remove empty characters?

[Jocelyn]

Hi,

I meet a weird question. I want to remove empty characters with string manipulation node by removeChars(column), but the result still contains some empty characters.

Does anybody meet this problem before? Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I think it is best to use the regexReplace function:

regexReplace($Email Address$, "\\s+", "")

This replaces any whitespace character sequence with an empty string.
Kind regards,
Alexander

Hi @Jocelyn,

beside @AlexanderFillbrunn solution (which covers more) you could also just change your function from remove to “strip” (in case your characters at the beginning are spaces
I would suggest to use Alexanders solution but in case you need to clear strings in the future and do not have the regex availible

Hello!

Function removeChars() from String Manipulation removes all space characters from string.
