How to replace Full-width space

Hi @masayuki_posiwill 

Have you tried a “Formatter->Text→Replace” step?

The notation to find a space would be: [:space:] - I assume this hadles a full width space.

In the “Replace” field below, just leave it blank to remove what’s found.

Yes, I have tried this.Please check the attached image.

I succeeded in that procedure for half-width spaces

ex) “test taro”→ “testtaro”

However, I used the same procedure and failed for double-byte spaces

ex) “TEST　TARO”→“TEST　TARO”

Is there any other solution?

Thank,you.

Hi @masayuki_posiwill 

Try using Formatter > Text > Trim Whitespace

This will remove extra spaces before/between/after text.

As well as Troy’s idea, you might also try [:space:][:space:] in the ‘find’ field of the formatter.

Thank you, I tried that too, but “Trim WhiteSpace” didn't work as expected.

Thank you, I tried [:space:][:space:] , but It didn't work as expected.

 I attach the resulting image. Thank you.

Those might be ‘tabs’ not spaces, so try replacing [:tab:] using the Formatter.

3. (Optional) Find, replace, or split special characters

In order to find, replace, or split on special characters in text, you can use a special character syntax:

• [:space:] - matches space (\s) characters
• [:tab:] - matches tab (\t) characters
• [:newline:] - matches newline (\n) characters
• [:return:] - matches carriage-return (\r) characters
