Trim String

Use the Trim String activity to trim characters from the content in a string.

The behavior of this activity is constrained by the String Trimming properties.

You can manually enter the Source String and Characters to Trim values or use variables such as output from other workflow activities, sub-workflows, or atomic actions that occur earlier in the workflow.

This activity will complete successfully as long as the Source String and Characters to Trim inputs are valid, even if no match is found in the Source String.

Note: If you press Enter after the end of the Source String, Automation will treat this as a trailing space.
