I'm trying to remove special characters, specifically hyphens ("-") from a text string. I tried to use "Replace Text" however it forces me to put in a character, which I DO NOT want to do since I want it deleted. How do I do this?
You can use the replac and replace with nothing.
That's what I mean though it gives an error:
In PAD, you can supply an empty string using %""%
I found solution on https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/Removing-Spaces-from-Text/m-p/1170615
You need to use %''% (kind of obscure but it works!)
