Remove Spaces

This data converter removes spaces from the input text. Notice that non-breakable spaces (occur as   in the HTML) are treated as spaces.

The Remove Spaces data converter can be configured using the following properties.

Remove All Spaces: Removes all spaces from the input text.
Remove Start and End Spaces: Trims the text so that there are no spaces at its start and end.
Replace Multiple Spaces with Single Spaces: Replaces all occurrences of multiple spaces within the input text with single spaces.
