Greetings community!
New to knime, I’m sorry if it’s a trivial question. I have a table with strings texts such as “out-of-home work schedule - meaning work relation”. I want to remove the dash preceded and followed by white spaces, but not the ones connecting the words. I tried string manipulation but I cannot find the right expression. Any sugestion?
Hi @Quendi and welcome to the KNIME community !
Maybe a -string manipulation- node could do the job with the following setting:
replace( $your_column_name$, " - ", " ")
Please notice that " - " means “blank-blank”
On top of this, maybe you would like to remove any repeated blank for which I would add the following:
removeDuplicates( strip( replace( $your_column_name$, " - ", " ")))
"removeDuplicates(...)"
Replaces all occurrences of two or more spaces with a single space character.
"strip(...)"
Strips any whitespace characters from the beginning and end of given strings.
Hope it helps
