Multiple line string but I only want one long line

Posted on by Redfish0

Hello,

 

I am using power automate desktop to read a PDF file, extract data and enter it into another system.  It's gone pretty well but the problem is I get PDFs with a line break in the text I have extracted.  So I end up getting this in my variable.

I'd like to convert it to one line but I just cannot find anything that will do this.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

    Split it up.

    Then join it back together (separated by space, probably).
