Hello again,

I am using the "text trim" function but it is not removing the space from a text obtained by OCR. Any idea about the error?

    Can you share some screenshots of your flow and the text you want to trim?

    Sure!! Sorry but my code is in spanish 🙂 

     

    This is the code: I am extracting information with OCR to the variable OCRServeIndicator and then I Am using the function Trim to find and delete all the spaces in the variable

    This is de code in the Trim function:

    And this is the result of the variables:

    You can see that there is a space between the S and the V

     

    Thanks again!

    Trim text does not remove whitespaces from everywhere in the text. It is only used to remove whitespaces from the start and/or the end of the end of the text.

    If you want to remove whitespaces from inside of your text, use Replace text instead. Use %" "% as the text to be replaced and %""% as the text to replace with. This will replace all whitespaces with nothing.
