Removing Spaces from Text

Posted on by Omar2

I have a variable with the text value of 'H e l l o'. How can I turn it into 'Hello'?

I tried using the Text Replace in power automate desktop but it doesn't accept spaces. I tried converting the text into text with escape code which gave 'H\ e\ l\ l\ o' then using the replace I put '\ ' for the to find but it won't let me replace it with an empty value.

Please help and thanks
